How to order two columns from different data tables to match their rows in excel?












0















I have 2 datasets, where I know the data is matching from using COUNTIF, and I've put them in the same sheet in excel. I am now trying to match together rows that correspond to each other. So for example like having this:



Name Age   Name Age
Tom 22 Sam 70
Ben 56 Tom 22
Bob 37 Ben 56
Sam 70 Dan 61
Dan 61 Bob 37


And I want to order these so I have this:



Name Age   Name Age
Tom 22 Tom 22
Ben 56 Ben 56
Sam 70 Sam 70
Bob 37 Bob 37
Dan 61 Dan 61


I am new to using excel and so any guidance on where to start to be able to do this would be appreciated.
