                      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.
