Use your applications key to bring up the context menu. Select sort. >From the Sort menu, select custom. You are now in a dialog box which JAWS does not read well. Use the tab key to move around in it. The most important things you need to find are as follows: --The checkbox that indicates whether or not the top row is a headings row for the columns of data, or if it is actual data. If you have column headings, make sure it is checked. --Tab until you get to a combo box, or maybe it is a list box, for which column you want to use for sorting. JAWS can be very uncooperative with reading the contents. --There are 2 more combo/list boxes that allow you to set information about sorting on this column I.E. A-Z, Z-A, ascending, descending, etc. Depending on what you want your sort to look like, you may not need to deal with this. Again, JAWS is not always cooperative with reading this information. --There should be another set of 3 combo/list boxes that will allow you to select the second column you want to use for your sort, as well as its criteria. I can never remember which column will need to be in the first set of boxes, verses which one goes in the second set. You will have to play around with it.

I need to sort a Excel 2010 spread sheet by 2 column headings. Can someone let me know how to do that?
