how do I sort several columns in excel

[Guest]

I have entered data into several excel columns. Company is the first column
header, additional information in other columns is product name, quantity and
price. Now that I have finished inventory I would like to sort the data by
the first column (company name) but obviously have the other company data
sort appropriately with the correct respective company. I don't remember how
to do it.

Select all the cells you want sorted (entire columns, rows or even the
entire sheet can be selected). Then Data->Sort. You'll get a dialogue
box which will allow you to specify the sort order & whether there is a
header row or not in your data range.
