Sorting Google Spreadsheets alphabetically – a guide

In Google Spreadsheets, for example, you can design tables according to your wishes using various templates. If necessary, you can sort the data in the table by alphabet. We show you step by step how to do this:

• Open the desired Google Spreadsheet.

• Click on the letter of the desired column, for example on column A.

• Select “Data” in the menu and then “Sort range”. Tap on “Sort range by column A (A to Z)”. Alternatively, the column can also be sorted from Z to A.
