I've made a table with assessment results for a class. I'd like to organise the list according to scores but when I choose 'sort ascending' it only sorts the scores. I need to link to names in column A with the scores in column B and then sort. How do I do that?

Please refer with the screenshot above with regards to the pop up box for forting the score linked with its corresponding name

Please note that a box before the "Data has header row" must be check. This will link the arrangement when the score are being sorted. Means, a row will come together wherever their position goes.

Excelchat Expert
