Sort rows within the grid

Use the right-click menu in the grid to easily sort the table based on a single column in ascending or descending order.

Reorder the rows of a table such that the values in a particular column are in ascending or descending order.

To sort rows within the grid:

  1. In the Grid view of an open table or worksheet, right-click a cell in the column on which you want to base the sort.
  2. From the menu, select one of the following:
    OptionDescription
    up Sorts the rows in the table such that the values in the column are in ascending order.
    up with N/As at end Sorts the rows in the table such that the values in the column are in ascending order. Rows with N/A (missing) values are sorted such that they are located at the bottom of the worksheet instead of at the top.
    down Sorts the rows in the table such that the values in the column are in descending order.
    down with N/As at beginning Sorts the rows in the table such that the values in the column are in descending order. Rows with N/A (missing) values are sorted such that they are located at the top of the worksheet instead of at the bottom.

    The Trillion-Row Spreadsheet sorts the table based on the column in ascending or descending order and adds the sort operation to the Analysis Timeline.
