Organizing Your Data
It is important to realize that you can create files of textual information as well as
numbers and formulas. The next example will illustrate this.
Sorting a Range
When you update a file of names, addresses and phone numbers, you usually add
data at the end of the file. To facilitate later reference, however, you need some
logical organization. Alphabetical order is commonly used. The sorting feature shown
here will save you time and effort in the organization of your data. To prepare:
1. Enter the data shown in the illustration.

so that you will be able to try several different types of sorts.
