In this video, I’m in a Google Sheet and I walk you through a really quick, practical way to sort your data so it’s easier to read—without constantly rearranging things by hand. I start with a simple example: a small team list with sales numbers by month. From there, I show you how to sort by names (Column A) so everything goes A to Z, and you can instantly clean up the view and keep each person’s numbers lined up correctly. Then I switch it up and sort by performance instead—using January sales (Column B) to sort from highest to lowest (Z to A). I also point out a common “gotcha”: if you sort the entire sheet, totals or extra rows can get pulled into the sort and end up in weird places. To fix that, I show you how to highlight only the data you want and use Advanced range sorting options, so your totals stay untouched while your selected range sorts perfectly. If you’re tracking expenses, inventory, or any list you update often, these basics will make your workflow a whole lot smoother.
