How do you sort a few columns based on one column's values from low to high?
What you need to do is select all the data. Normally when doing this, the first column of the data you selected acts as the key to sorting it. So what you need to do next is to go to a Custom Sort and select the column to base your sort on. Then you can do it on a different column. That will work. When values change in Excel it does not automatically sort them again like in a database, so you will need to redo the sort occasionally. You could set a macro up to do that for you.
