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.
- A helper column gives each word a number for its place in the list, and you sort by that number.
