    Small issue: make pivot table in same order as data, instead of alphabetically

    Hello all,

    As the thread title says, I need to show textual data in a pivot table in the exact same order as the rows are arranged in the source sheet. Despite arranging the rows in the order I want in the source sheet, the pivot table still shows the row items alphabetically which I don't want.

    How do I get the pivot table to show the data in the exact order as the source sheet instead of alphabetically?

    Thanks in advance!

    Use custom list option
    File > Options > Advanced > Under General use 'Edit Custom Lists' > Import list from cells > Add > Ok
    Save and close the workbook, reopen the workbook and sort the data in pivot table.
