Sorting

I need to change an excel table to alphabetical order. I have 9 columns and
121 rows. I've tried with the sort button but nothing happens. Could
somebody please give me some light in this?

Thank you.

It should sort alphabetically for you. What column are you sorting on? (You
need to choose at least one column to use to sort from. do you have any
spaces before the text perhaps?)

You've got to select a column or subset of a column before
pressing the button.

Otherwise, select a cell in your table, then Data> Sort. AFAIK,
a cell must be selected for reasons that escape me :)
