I need to sort column C in the same order as column A. Best method to go about it? The list on column A is sorted by the number of fields that aren’t empty in those accompanying columns. I realize in that small snippet the numbers aren’t shared among both lists, but the entire list is >30,000 rows.
I would recommend using the match function. So in C1 enter:
That should find the first matching value in column A (I am assuming there is a unique match). Then you can select both of columns B and C and sort by column C. This way B will be sorted by A. See the help for the match function if there is not exactly one match in A for every value in B (though I’m not sure this will help, frankly, I’ve had a couple of drinks..).
