                          SORTING DATA IN EXCEL


                 It is easy to maintain data in Excel as the sheet is divided into rows and columns but the data may
                 not be arranged in a specific order automatically as we enter it.

                 For such a purpose, Excel provides us with a feature called sorting. Sorting means arranging the
                 data either in ascending or descending order. Data can be sorted in two ways:

                   Ascending order: Arranging data in increasing order, for example, letters from A to Z, numbers
                   from lowest to highest, etc.

                   Descending  order:  Arranging data  in  decreasing  order, for example,  letters  from Z  to  A,
                   numbers from highest to lowest, etc.
