# Sorting

You can sort the data in any Arcwise connected data tab. You can sort on several columns, where earlier columns take precedence in the ordering. To sort data navigate to the Arcwise connected data interface [Arcwise Connected Data](/using-arcwise-in-sheets/arcwise-connected-data.md).

1\) Click on the plus button in the **Sort** section.

2\) Select the column you would like to sort on. If you would like to sort on multiple columns click the **Add sort column**. You can add as many columns as you like here though performance will decrease with many sorts on large data sets (>100,000 rows).
