Excelle search (as database)

Hello,

I have an extensive excel database with student details (Family name, given name, DOB, Nationality, accommodation, etc.). - the details below are not actual student details.

This information is organised in separate columns. I would like to eg. arrange all of this info alphabetically by for example family name. How can I do that? I would like to put a drop down to the top of the spreadsheet, where the user can choose eg. alphabetically incremental/decremental...

Many thanks!
