The SORT function in Excel sorts the contents of a range or array. Example, =SORT(B2:B20). You can also sort in ascending or descending order with the SORT function. =SORT(B2:B20,,-1) would sort descending or highest to lowest. The number 1 would sort ascending, which is the default sort. The SORT function has four arguments, but only 1 is required.

Note about the SORT Function
The SORT function is provided to sort data in an array. If you want to sort data in the grid, it's better to use the SORTBY function, as it is more flexible. SORTBY will respect column additions/deletions, because it references a range, where SORT references a column index number.
