Excel help (again)

Assuming your excel file includes a number of columns for each type of information, you just need to add one more colum in which you will enter the information you want to sort/filter by.

Once this is done, you need to create a table with the whole thing. This will create a drop down list for each colum title and allow you to filter or simply order the way you want.
