Sorting Shopify Data in a Mixtable Spreadsheet

Sorting your worksheet data in Mixtable is a straightforward process that allows you to arrange information in either ascending or descending order. Open your Shopify-linked workbook and follow the process outlined below.

1. Navigate to the worksheet you’ll be sorting

After creating the workbook and adding the worksheet you need, navigate to the Worksheet menu located at the top of the Mixtable interface. Click the Sort Worksheet option. In the window that appears, you’ll have the option to select the column you want to sort by and the direction of the sort.

2. Specify sorting criteria

When the Sort Worksheet window opens, you’ll see the option to select the column to use in the sort and the direction of the sort.

Which column should we sort on? First, you need to select the column you will be sorting by clicking the drop-down menu. You will see a list here of all the columns in the worksheet that have data in them, along with the value of the first cell in the column if there is one.

Which direction should we sort on? Once you select the column you want to sort, you need to choose if you want to sort it in ascending order or descending order.

• By selecting the Descending order option, Mixtable will sort the rows in the worksheet based on the values in the column, going from largest/highest to smallest.
• By selecting the Ascending order option, Mixtable will sort the rows in the worksheet based on the values in the column, going from smallest to largest/highest.

3. Finalize sorting

Once you click the “Begin sort” button, Mixtable will sort the data in the backend. Once the sort is done, you will be prompted to reload the workbook to see the updated data. Please note that while the sort is in progress, you won’t be able to modify the data in the worksheet.

You're ready!
