This document discusses how to sort data row-wise in Excel using the Sort function. It notes that while the Sort function is commonly used, its ability to sort data horizontally is less explored. It provides steps to select the data, access the Sort option under the Data tab, select "Sort left to right" instead of the default "top to bottom" setting, choose the desired row to sort and sort order, and press OK to complete the row-wise sort.

2. Sort Data Row-Wise
We have been using Sort function for so long in our work but still one of the most unexplored
feature of this function is that we can sort data row wise also. This could be useful in some
cases, where our data is in horizontal manner. So let’s see how we can do it…..
I have created a dummy data for this:
First we need to select the data

3. And then go to Data TabSort
Then a Sort dialog box will appear. In this box first click on Options.. and choose Sort left to
right instead of top to bottom and then press OK.

4. Now from the dropdown in the box choose your desired row and choose order and
then press OK.
And we are done….
