Custom sort order (Low, Medium, High)
Sort a list in an order you set yourself, like High, Medium, Low, instead of A to Z.
In this lesson
- A to Z sorts by letters, so High, Medium, Low comes out as High, Low, Medium.
- A custom sort order is a list of words in the order you want them.
- Sort by your own list, and the rows follow your order instead of the alphabet.
