Cyber Tip
Have you ever sorted data in Excel, only to find you can’t get it back to the original order? To avoid this problem, before sorting, insert a new column called “original order” and number the rows sequentially from top to bottom. Now you can sort to your heart’s content and any time you want to return to the original order, just sort by the original order column. |
