Custom sorting list












0















I wanted sort pivot data according to the months and not from A to Z.
The monthly sorting is not included in my Excel, therefore, I tried to add a custom sorting from the Excel options (options-> advance-> general-> edit custom lists). However, when I click on the edit custom lists tab it doesn't open up and doesn't allow me to create any custom lists.
I have the same problem with sorting data even when it is not in a pivot table.
Any ideas how to solve the problem?

  • How about creating a list in Worksheet first and then selecting the list range to Custom list?
