Sort data and have it skip everyother row when it is sorted

How can I sort my data in a column and have it a blank row between every entry

First, I'd just increase the row height so that it looks like the rows are
double spaced. (Inserting empty rows can screw up other things--pivottables,
filters, charts...

But if you want...

Sort the data the way you want (we'll add the blank rows later)

Find an empty column
put 1 in the first row (with data) in that column
Put 2 right under it.

Now select those two cells and drag down the length of your data.

You'll see a nice sequence of numbers--1 through the number of rows you need.

Select that big list of numbers
edit copy
select the cell under the list
edit paste
now you have two sets of numbers 1-### and then 1-### again.

Now sort by that column.

Delete the column when you're done.
