Sorting Alphabetically

ihaveaquestion · Posted: Mon Dec 05, 2005 11:40 am Post subject: Sorting Alphabetically

Can this be done in aspreadsheet? Or just in text documents?

Could someone help me If it can be done in Calc ?

I've read tutorials but can't seem to find answer.

You could probably find the answer through OpenOffice.org's help. When in OOo, just press F1 to bring up the help. It will let you search too.

In Calc there are at least two ways to sort:
1. Through sort button on toolbar
2. Through menu: Data->Sort

That's what I was trying to do from the tutorials.

First- the Sort button does not light up when I highlight the cells I want to sort

Second- Data-Sort-OK does nothing either.

I have to use OO 1.1 and that is the tutorial I was using.

Data-Sort-Options= Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu.Fri,Sat (greyed out)

I did get it to work in Writer after restarting computer.

The company has version 1.1.4 and upgrading is out of the question.

I have both versions on home computer but still use 1.1.4 for stuff from work.
I know 2.0 will save it to 1.1 format but, by actually using the 1.1 version I know it will also work at work.

I still cannot get either version to sort in Calc but not worried about it.

Thank you for responses.
