Sort

Sort allows a row or column or an entire region to be sorted. Sort operates identically for rows and columns. If a region is selected, you may choose on what row or column the region is sorted and in which order, ascending or descending, by selected the options from the menus and radio boxes in the Sort dialog. There is also the option for specifying a tie-breaker row or column. For example, you could sort an spreadsheet of grades by selecting the entire spreadsheet, choosing Sort Column from the menu or toolbar, selecting the column containing the final grades to sort on, and use another column of final exam grades as the tie-breaker. The entire spreadsheet will be sorted on those fields. Blank cells are not sorted.
