    Sorting rows in a "group"

    So I've got some data on a spreadsheet like this. The data is associated with other data around it as indicated by the bold border.

    How do I sort column A while simultaneously making Excel bring the associated data with it? (Without having to put A2 as 1, and A3 as 1 etc.)

    I thought I was onto something but using a table but it does not respect the empty cells like it should.

    After browsing here, I know how much merging cells is discouraged, I thought I would try merging A1-A3, A4-A6, and so on. Excel returns an error.

    Maybe it's possible to put each group of data in its own table and have excel sort entire tables?

    What about putting the data in a pivot table.

    Here is a tutorial on pivot tables if you have no experience. http://www.datapigtechnologies.com/ExcelMain.htm

    Scroll down to the section on Pivot Tables.
