    How to arrange/reference/find data between 2 lists

    I have an excel sheet (sheet 1) with column A having a list of Names, and B with a list of ID Numbers

    I then have column E showing list of ID numbers (the same ID numbers as in column B but in a different order) and column F with a list of dates which show when the ID number is due for renewal.

    I want to arrange the list of the names to be in order of date of renewal.

    Any advice?


    Much appreciated

    There are two options:
    1. Select the whole range (column A thru F) and sort on column F
    2. Add a helper column (C) to the list of Names and Id's with a lookup of the renewal date based on the ID and then select columns A-C and sort on column C
    Cheers!
