Worksheet is not Sorting

Problem

1. Sort special not sorting file correctly. Doesn't appear to be sorting at all or appears to be sorting by incorrect criteria. no error message given.
2. Ditto for financial extract in MacNail construction management software.

Diagnosis

1. Have saved the file in question under a different name? If they have, they may have inadvertantly removed the title key words that identify the file's type and replaced them with key words of an incorrect type.
2. If financial extract from a Quick Ledger, it will sort by the wrong columns since they're different than a regular financial extract.

Solution

1. Have them use Save As from the File menu to rename the file so it contains the necessary key words.
2. to sort by date---use 'payee number' by payout --- use 'date'
