    Sorting groups of named multiple rows - how to?

    I have a very large set of data grouped in records that are 3 rows by 20 columns (see attached sample set). The records (each 3 row / 20 column group of cells) is named by one of the cells in the record ( data in column 'C'). The columns have header names in rows 1 and 2.

    I want to sort by any selected cell ( i.e. 'Symbol' or 'Name' or 'Purchase Date' or 'Div Yield' or 'Annualized Return' etc.) and keep all the data in the record (each 3 row / 20 column group of cells) together.

    I do not know if naming the records helps or not.

    I checked the forum for this kind of problem but did not see something this complex (at least complex to me) Also - I am familiar with basic sorting but not so much with named ranges or grouping etc.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    65 views but no replies. Either I did not clearly state the problem or this is harder than I realized. If any one viewing can tell me if what I want to do is not possible it would help me move to a different solution search.

    I think you can only sort data if same type of data are in one column
    Now you have 'Name' 'Purchase Date' and 'Quantity' 'Div' in the same column.

    Good point on sorting data in a vertical column - that escaped me. Thank you for pointing that out.

    I was hoping there was a way to sort named ranges by a cell in the same position in each named range.
