As I was making a spreadsheet with dates, I realized that I had not put them in the correct order. Fortunately, you can sort in a spreadsheet by date, alphabetical order or numerical order. After your data is in the spreadsheet, you select the column that you want to sort. If there are numbers or information that need to stay together, then you need to select both columns before you do the sort. In Excel, you find the sort under the Data heading.
In Open Office, you will find the same exact sorting ability under tools.
It turns out that you can also sort lists on the word processing side of these programs. In Open Office, you can sort just a list in a document. If you are in Microsoft Word, your data would need to be in a table. If you find another way to sort in Word, please let me know. Thanks.
