# PSPP for Beginners: Quick Data Sorting

## Sort by Column Heading

A quick way to perform a simple sort is to right click on the column heading of a variable. The pop-up menu has options for Sort Ascending or Sort Descending.

A limitation of this approach is that the sort is performed on a single variable. Sorting for two or more variables, such as Exam1 and LastName, would require using the menu option from Data > Sort Cases.
