I have a spreadsheet with about 5 columns. I am easily able to sort by one column. When I try to add a 2nd column as a sub-sort, nothing happens. It seems like it should be very straightforward. What am I missing? Thanks.

Open the Sort and Filter Inspector.

Set up a Sort like this one:


Table above has been resorted to its original order (column A)


When you click a cell to activate the table, then click Sort Now, the table is sorted following the instructions in the Inspector.

Barry
