Sorting Table Cells
You can arrange values in some or all the cells in a column in ascending or descending
order. Rows containing cells being sorted are reordered. Header cells aren’t sorted.
Here are ways to sort:
 To sort all the cells in a column, select one of the column’s cells, open the Table
Inspector, and then choose Sort Ascending or Sort Descending from the Edit Rows &
Columns pop-up menu.
 To sort only some of the cells in a column, select the cells before choosing Sort
Ascending or Sort Descending.
The following table describes how different types of data are sorted in ascending or
descending order.
