Why can't I Sort in Excel?
Wrong Selection. If you select the wrong rows and columns or less than the full cell range that contains the information you want to sort, Microsoft Excel can't arrange your data the way you want to view it. With a partial range of cells selected, only the selection sorts. With empty cells selected, nothing happens.
How do I add a Sort button to a table?
Adding the “sortable” class to a <table> element provides support for sorting by column value. Clicking the column headers will sort the table rows by that column's value. Tables must use <thead> and <th> tags for sortable functionality to work. The <th> tag defines a header cell in an HTML table.
