Aren't you just sorting your data by column A in ascending order and column B in
ascending order?

In xl2003 menus:

Select A1:B###
Data|Sort
Sort by column A (ascending)
secondary sort by column B (ascending)
Make sure no header row is checked (if that matches your data)

And click ok

You can use sort to do this. Simply leave column A out of the sort.
Highlight column B, then Data>Sort

Regards,
Fred.
