List of States..I want to sort and graph by region

I have an excel spreadsheet with 10 categories across the top and all 50 states down the left side. The rest is filled with numbers that show how many locations are in each of the categories in each state.

I have graphed this data but I want to sort it by region. How would I do this using Excel 2007?

I have attached a scrubbed version of the data set.

I'm mainly trying to figure out how to sort(layout) the data so it graphs properly.
