I have gone through every tip and instruction for Excel issues with sorting alphabetically and I just can't fix it. I've used the TRIM to get rid of extra spaces, I've used un-hide rows and columns to be sure there are no hidden rows or columns, I only select the data cells to sort leaving out any column headings or headers, I've formatted the columns I'm sorting to be sure they're in a text format. I just can't figure it. It's a simple worksheet but has over 700 rows of data. The program will sort Column E properly but Column C sorts alphabetically at first, then starts over in the middle of the sort on Column E.
