Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): 8.5.1 SR2
Operating System: W7

This is an embarrassingly simple question, but I'm stumped.

I have a worksheet (origin, not excel) of values, and I'd like to sort the worksheet (not just one column) by the values in one column - something I've done hundreds of times in the past. Today, I highlight the column, right-click, hover over 'Sort Worksheet' but none of the options are available - i.e. they're greyed out.

Any ideas what I've overlooked?

Thanks,

LUser

Are any columns locked? Origin will not allow you to sort the worksheet if any of the columns are. To unlock, highlight the offending column(s), right-click, select 'Set Column Values', and set the 'Recalculate' mode to 'None'.

Aha! There was a set of locked columns that I thought had failed to calculate hiding around column 3590 (I have 22 columns of data, so I didn't think to look there). Thanks Dr. Shepherd!
