Sorting in alphabetical order

Organize the data by sorting it into alphabetical order. For example, you want to see employees in alphabetical order. Only columns that are categorical can be sorted by label. Numeric columns, such as revenue, are sorted by value.

Procedure

  1. Right-click, the axis label of the column that you want to sort.
    You can sort the data in either the x-axis or y-axis, depending on what type of data is in an axis.
  2. Click Sort.
  3. Select how you want to sort the data:
    • Ascending
    • Descending
  4. To return to the default sort order, select Auto (none).
  5. To create a custom sort order, select Custom. For more information, see Custom sorting.
