wes,
In my experience spreadsheets are the absolute worst tool to do this job.
If you sort column 1 and forget to highlight all the others, only column 1
is sorted. When trying to sort on internal columns it gets even worse. This
is one way folks using spreadsheets as databases screw up their data and
make it totally useless and unrecoverable.
