I've been reading online about sorting multiple columns and I'm confused.
Selecting one column to sort also selects all the other columns as well, at
least in Excel 2000 and XP. I didn't see any difference in selecting one
column or using the "Then by" boxes, in fact, the "Then by" choices didn't
work. If the first column sorted in ascending order, and I chose to sort the
second and third columns to sort in descending order, Excel still sorted all
three columns in ascending order.
If Excel sorts the all the columns together by default, why use the "Then
by" boxes at all?
