How to Sort a Sheet in Google Sheets
These will help you sort an entire sheet in Google sheets, either alphabetically or numerically. Sheets will immediately sort the spreadsheet once you select the desired option, though the task may take a few moments in large spreadsheets. If you don’t like the result, open the Edit menu and select Undo.
How to Sort a Column in Google Sheets
Follow these instructions to sort a single column in Google sheets, either alphabetically or numerically. Unlike the first method, which sorts the entire sheet by the data in one column, this method doesn’t sort data outside the selected column. Remember this sorts only the selected column, so no data outside that column will change. This method will include the top row, which is often used to label columns. It’s a common problem that will cause your data to be out of sorts. The next method in this guide solves the issue.
How to Sort a Column with a Header Row in Google Sheets
Follow these instructions to sort a single column in Google Sheets while excluding the header row (the row at the top of the column). This is useful if the top row of each column has a label. This column excludes the top row entirely, so data in that row won’t move. It’s a great way to sort large amounts of data in labeled columns without causing errors.
