How to Sort by Time in Excel 2007

1. Place titles in the top boxes of every column that you wish to fill. For example, if you are listing phone calls, you might want to list the time, date, name and length of the call.
2. Format each column by clicking on the first box under the title box and then holding the 'Shift' key while you press the 'down' arrow. When the number of boxes you will be use are selected, choose the 'Home' tab to see the 'Numbers' group. Click 'Time' for the time column. The rest of the columns can be formatted in the same way but use the option of 'Date' or 'Number.'
3. Highlight the column again to choose a specific format for time and click on the small arrow at the bottom-right corner of the 'Number' group box. This will bring up the 'Format Cells' menu and show all the options available for formatting the text listed. Within the 'time' option, there are several specific formats from which to choose.
4. Group all the completed entries used so far by highlighting them and then sort the entries by the time. Choose the 'Data' tab and then look at the 'Sort and Filter' group. Choose the 'Sort' option to open the menu. Pick the column that holds the time value as the sorting column and then the 'A to Z' option for the earliest to latest time.
