Imported Excel list will not sort on certain columns
Hello, I've been trying to import multiple Excel lists into SharePoint. that part is easy, but not all of the columns are sortable. When I hover over the column header there is generally a down arrow which allows the column to be sorted. This down arrow is not always available and even when it is, there are no options to sort. This only happens on certain columns, not every one. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Hi Snwboarder, When you click the drown arrow in a column header, it should display the sort options of Ascending and Descending. Which columns did not have sort options? Did this happen to all document libraries? Did this happen to all IE in different PC? You can check whether there are relevant error information in 12/LGOS folder. And you can clear the cache of IE and re-create another new libarary with the same columns, and check whether the issue is unique for that one library. Thanks Regards, Daniel

Hi. Did you ever figure this one out? I am having the same issue on multiple imports. There doesn't seem to be any logic behind which columns will sort, and those that will not.
