2. In the Sort window, select the first column title to sort. Sort the data in Ascending or
Descending order.
3. Select more than one column title by selecting the title in the pull-down menu. Select
Ascending or Descending to sort the column in that order.
4. Click OK to sort the data, or click Cancel to stop sorting.
