Excel 97 on Windows XP data sort error

[Steve P]

I have had sorting errors using Excel 97 running on
Windows XP. Is there a fix for this? I check Excel
updates and the microsoft website says I already have all
updates.

 

[Don Guillett]

Please tell what sort of errors.

Sort errors are almost always data problems. You might have numeric data in
a cell and it is stored as text and is sorted as text. You need to check
your data. There are no known sorting problems with XL97 that I have heard
of.
