city, au_lanme, au_fname, phone, address, contract

Using excel sort I can only sort on stae, zip and city. How to include
au-Name and the rest?
Thanks.

[Guest]

you can sort by the 3 most minor, then sort by the 3 major fields.

That'll be 2 different data|sorts.

How? First I sorted them by state, zip, city. Then if I try to re-sort
(using au_id, au_lname etc) them then the original sort (by state-zip-
city) is lost. I want to keep the original sort and then how do I
introduce more columns into the sort? Thanks.

As you can see the sort order is:
select *
from authors
order by au_lname,au_fname,state,zip,city,phone,au_id

When I use excel using your suggestion after the first sort by
au_lname and au_fname I get the page sorted. Then when I apply the
second sort:
state,zip,city
The previous sort (au_lname,au_fname) is disordered.
