SORT in WPS on Windows FAQ

This FAQ covers 3 common question types about SORT, including error handling, nested use, and recalculation after data updates.

FAQ

How do I check a SORT formula when it returns an error?

1. Check whether the parameter order is correct, especially the range, sort column, and ascending or descending setting.
2. Confirm that the referenced data range is valid and matches the required data structure.
3. Review whether the referenced data types fit the formula logic.
4. Save the formula again and review the result.

Can SORT be used together with other functions?

1. Start by using SORT as the base sorting logic in a formula field.
2. Use the returned SORT result as part of another function.
3. Save the formula and review whether the nested logic works as expected.
4. If the result is not correct, test each part of the formula step by step.

Will SORT recalculate automatically after imported data changes?

1. Formula fields usually recalculate after the data changes.
2. After importing data, check whether the formula field already shows the updated result.
3. If the expected result does not appear, review the formula format and referenced range.
4. If needed, open the formula editor and save the formula again.
