    how to expand sort function beyond 3 on excel

    Hello;
    I am working on an excel ( Office 2003 ) spread sheet to develope a golf
    tournamant scoring sheet. One of the functions that I am trying to achieve is
    to sort the gross and net scores in order. Currently I have a Macro set up to
    sort the gross and net scores on two separate sheets. The problem is that
    will over 100 golfers there are situations where several golfers can have the
    same score so I have set up a three sort function where ties are broken by
    looking at two different individual hole scores. Doing a test of the spread
    sheet showed that some ties still exist so I want to expand the data sort
    function beyond the excel default of three.
    Any suggests would be greatly appreiciated.

    Search XL help for 'sort' (w/o the quotes). One of the suggested topics is
    "Sort a range." One of the sections it contains is "Sort rows by four
    criteria (columns)"

    You can extend that explanation to more than 4 criteria: Sort by the lowest
    keys first. Then sort by the next high-order keys. Work your way to the
    highest-order keys, which will be the last sort.
