    Question Help with sorting a data table

    Hi all,

    I'm not sure if this is a solver problem or a sorting problem. I have a table of data with headers, I need to sort the data table based on several columns. The problem is I need to sort based on high to low on ALL the columns. I tried custom sorting, but this doesn't work, because I need to optimize each column at the same time.

    For example,
    A B
    1 550000 550000
    2 550000 880
    3 90500 74000

    Upon optimizing and sorting row three would be second, because I want highest to lowest in BOTH columns.

    So my question is where do I start looking? Solver?

    Thanks,

    Max

    Hi Max,


    After optimizing, you can use a helper column to serial number the order of the row, basis which you can sort the table...
