Hi,

I've got a list of data. Each row has a particular part number, its
importance and other columns. How do I sort things by importance, so
that I end up with all the most important rows at the top? Currently,
I tried using the sort function, but it just rearranges the importance
column; this is useless to me if that is reordered separately from the
rows with which those importance stats were associated!

Can someone explain to me how to do this?

Thanks,
Gab

Wouldn't it only do this when you've just got a single column as the
sort range?
 
Hi Gab,

Select all of your data before you sort.
Then, when you go to Data>Sort
Select which column you wish to Sort by
from the dropdown box.
