Using Excel 2000, I would like to designate a specific row as the header row when I sort. Reason: I have two rows as the header, with different information in each. I would like to designate that Row 2 is the header and sort based on that. Otherwise, I have to sort on Column B, then Column E, which is not intuitive. Any way to do this?
 

Excel Facts

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
Select your range starting in A2 if you want to use row 2 as header, or in A1 if you want to use row 1 as header. BTW, having two header rows doesn't seem very intuitive to me either ! :biggrin:
