Sorting is one of Microsoft Excel's easiest tasks. Click; you're done! At least until you need to sort by multiple columns. For this sort task, you'll need a custom sort. Here's how.

Microsoft Excel sorts slider buttons alphabetically and numerically. Fortunately, you can add a custom sort list to sort the buttons in a more meaningful way, when necessary.
