how to sort assignments by date in google sheets

 In Google Sheets, you can sort assignments by date using the following steps. I'll assume you have a spreadsheet with a column containing dates and the assignments associated with those dates.

Sorting Ascending (Oldest to Newest):

  1. Select the Data:

    • Click on the letter at the top of the column that contains your dates. This will select the entire column.
  2. Open the "Data" Menu:

    • Go to the "Data" menu at the top of Google Sheets.
  3. Choose "Sort Range":

    • In the "Data" menu, hover over "Sort range" and select either "Sort sheet A-Z" or "Sort range."
  4. Select the Date Column:

    • In the "Sort range" dialog box, make sure the correct column is selected for sorting (it should be the column containing your dates).
  5. Choose Ascending Order:

    • Under "Order," select "Ascending." This will sort the dates from the oldest to the newest.
  6. Click "Sort":

    • Click the "Sort" button to apply the sorting.

Sorting Descending (Newest to Oldest):

If you want to sort the assignments in descending order (newest to oldest):

  1. Follow steps 1-4 above.

  2. Choose Descending Order:

    • Under "Order," select "Descending."
  3. Click "Sort":

    • Click the "Sort" button to apply the sorting.

Additional Tips:

  • If your date column is not recognized as dates, you might need to format the cells as dates. You can do this by selecting the column, right-clicking, choosing "Format cells," and selecting the date format.

  • If your date column contains both dates and other information, make sure your data is consistent. If needed, split the date and other information into separate columns for accurate sorting.

  • Sorting can be done with other columns as well. If you have additional information associated with each assignment, you can sort based on that column.

Remember to save your work after making changes. These steps should help you organize and sort your assignments by date in Google Sheets
