Sorting data in Excel is a common task, and using keyboard shortcuts can help you save time and work more efficiently. One shortcut you can use to sort data in Excel is ALT + H + S + S.

To sort data using this shortcut:

  1. Select the range of cells you want to sort.
  2. Press ALT + H to activate the Home tab on the ribbon.
  3. Press S twice to activate the Sort & Filter dropdown menu.
  4. Press S again to select the Sort A to Z or Sort Z to A option, depending on whether you want to sort the data in ascending or descending order.

If you prefer to use the mouse instead of the keyboard, you can also sort data by clicking the Data tab on the ribbon, and then clicking the Sort button. From there, you can choose which column to sort by and in which order, and also add multiple levels of sorting if needed.
