SORT and SORTBY
Show a sorted version of a list with a formula, by any column or by several, without moving the original.
In this lesson
- SORT shows a sorted version of a list. The list itself doesn't move.
- The sorted version sorts again by itself when a number changes.
- SORT can sort by a column you don't show, and by several columns at once, when you give it ranges.
