Sorting excel alphabetically maintaining spaces

There has to be an easy way to do this that I'm overlooking... hopefully.

I have data arranged in columns A-F. I am wanting to set it up so those groups are all based on the name in column A:

Name Location Quantity Notes Etc.

Joe Likes bread
Hates butter
Jane

Julio



Column A only takes up one space, while the other columns take up 3-4 spaces on average. I am looking to sort column A alphabetically while maintaing the spaces between so that the info doesn't become jumbled. (So Jane doesn't like bread while Joe hates butter.)

Hope this makes sense.

Don't think my example translated to the thread. Please see attachment.

Sorry, was pulled away before I could figure it out. Hope this works..

What do you mean by using conditional formatting to suppress display?

Great, I really appreciate your help!!
