    Messed up the sorting

    Hello everyone,

    glad to be here. Please excuse my english, I am not a native speaker.
    Only recently I started to do some work on excel for webmapping purposes. Unfortunately I am not very into it, that's why a big mistake happened.
    I sorted a column by alphabet without sorting the other columns accordingly. Now the order is messed up and doesn't make any sense. I tried to undo the step and restore older versions of the document, but there are none. Is my document lost, or is there a workaround?
    Any help is aprpeciated.
    Joe

    Hi,

    On Excel's level, I don't think there is any workaround if you have saved and closed the file after the sorting mistake (Although I might be wrong). Had you deleted the file, then probably you could use some recovery tools, or maybe right click on the file and try the restore previous versions option.
    Cheers!

    Maybe keep the thread Unsolved for some more time, and see if some other members might know of some workaround?
