    Question Make specific data (Date of birth, Amount$) stick to individuals (Names) to sort.

    Sorry for this vague question, I don't know exactly how to formulate it with correct excel jargon.

    I need to be able to sort this data after age and amount so that the names, date of birth, and specific amount follows the three people through different sorting. In other words, I need to make the specific data stick to each name, so that for example Eric will always be born 85/07/12 and have 500$ in the bank.

    Name DOB Amount$

    Eric 85/07/12 500
    Chris 90/05/16 210
    Tom 86/11/09 600


    So that sorting after age from oldest to youngest would be:

    Eric 85/07/12 500
    Tom 86/11/09 600
    Chris 90/05/16 210

    Sorting after amount$ (High to low) would be

    Tom 86/11/09 600
    Eric 85/07/12 500
    Chris 90/05/16 210

    Do I do this through pivot tables or is there a specific command that makes the data stick to each individual?

    Thank you.

    you can place filters at the top of the column and use the sort function for the columns.
    Also in general using the sort function you can sort by multiple columns and it always asks if you (highlighting one column) want to expand the sort.
