Sorting a table in LibreOffice Calc in either ascending or descending order is easy. Here’s how:
Steps to Sort in Ascending or Descending Order
1. Open Your Spreadsheet: Make sure your table is organized in rows and columns.
2. Select the Data Range:
- If you want to sort the entire table, select all cells in the table (click and drag, or click the top-left corner cell).
- If you only want to sort a specific column, select that column.
3. Go to the `Data` Menu:
- In the menu bar, click on Data > Sort....
4. Set Sort Criteria:
- In the Sort dialog box, go to the Sort Criteria tab.
- Choose the Column you want to sort by (e.g., "Column A" if you want to sort by the first column).
- Select Ascending or Descending under Order.
5. Add Additional Sorting Levels (Optional):
- If you want to sort by multiple columns, you can add more sorting criteria by selecting additional columns in the Then by fields.
6. Apply Sorting:
- Once you’ve set the criteria, click OK. Calc will now sort the data according to your specified order.
Quick Sort Buttons
Alternatively, you can quickly sort a selected column in ascending or descending order:
- Click the Sort Ascending or Sort Descending buttons on the toolbar (usually found at the top and look like “A→Z” and “Z→A” icons).
This should help you sort your data easily in LibreOffice Calc!
