    3 views and not even a groan. I could list that on ebay and sell the rights to it and make some money.

    How to Sort in Excel

    Sorting is used to reorder our data in excel. We can easily reorder the data based on the type of sorting that we choose. We have two methods to sort the data.

    Below are the steps to sort the given data in Excel:

    1 Select a single cell anywhere in the range that you want to sort.
    2 Select Data menu and select Sort from Sort & Filter group.
    3 In the Sort by list, select the first column on which you want to sort. (You can click on Add Level to include additional number of columns to sort).
    4 In the Sort On list, select the desired field from the drop down (Values, Cell Color, Font Color, or Cell Icon).
    5 In the Order list, select the order that you want to apply to the sort operation (A to Z or Z to A for text, lower to higher or higher to lower for numbers).
    6 Check the field My data has headers if your data has headers included.
    7 Click OK.

    Years ago Mad Magazine did something like that (How to make a hexagon). It was called Horrifying Cliches. Each cartoon panel showed a literal version of the phrase with a monster as the subject. An example would be "Digging up the past." The "past" was a creature that some guy was unearthing in a graveyard. National Lampoon did their own version of Horrifying Cliches. The one I remember most was "Blowing a joke."

    Looking forward to my day in court.

    I believe George Orwell was credited with one of the finest mixed metaphors with: "The jack-booted octopus of Fascism has turned up its toes and sung its swan song."

    The feeling may or may not be mutual.

    In any case it's got nothing to do with this thread here.

    You make a hexagon by starting with a circle and then cutting off 6 sides of equal length.

    From deep in the crypt of St. Giles
    Came a shriek that re-echoed for miles.
    The abbot said, "Gracious,
    it's Brother Ignacious --
    He's forgotten the bishop has piles!"

    I don't know who said it, but this is a favorite:

    Time is an excellent teacher; unfortunately, it kills all its pupils.

    Related to that: Experience is what you get right after you needed it.
