![]() Is there a technique or add-on software or utility that will let me do a Data Sort in excel by 4 or more levels at once. Currently you can only do 3 levels at once. I'd rather not have to separate the files after the first sorting operation, in order to sort more types of fields. -- Pam LaDue ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pam LaDue's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=36773 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=564874 |

![]() Why not concatenate the 4 fields together and sort on that one field. You'll have to be a bit careful how you do this otherwise you wont end up with things in the order you want, but this might work -- Special-K ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special-K's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=7470 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=564874 |

I don't understand when you say "separate the files".
Simply select your *entire* datalist, then perform a sort on the least (last) sort key. Now, just do it (the sort) again, with your 3 remaining sort keys in the proper order (1st, 2nd, 3rd). No need to do *anything* between the sorts. -- HTH, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Pam LaDue" wrote in message ...

Just do the sorting multiple times.
Do the 3 most important fields last. Pam LaDue wrote: Is there a technique or add-on software or utility that will let me do a Data Sort in excel by 4 or more levels at once.
