How do you "Unsort" a column to get it back to the way it was when you opened it?

How do you "Unsort" a column to get it back to the way it was when you opened it?
I like to sort by price or alphabetical etc but then I want to return the cells to where they were and I can't figure out a way to do that.
For instance, the rows that don't matter so much like the ones that just describe what date is the follow are now all together and I want it back the way it was when I opened the document without losing any changes I've met to other things in the doc since I sorted.
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks.
Tim

Hi fl2,
Adding to replies from Wayne and Barry. After you open that Numbers document, insert another column into a table before you sort it. The column can be anywhere in that table. Here is Column A (labelled "Original") that I inserted. It has numbers in sequence (1, 2, 3...)
As Barry said, these must be numbers, not the results of a formula.
Now you can sort by any column to your heart's delight and always go back to the original order by sorting that table by column A.
Regards,
Ian.

    As deggie said, you are the victim of Activation Lock.  Activation Lock is described here:

    Either you need to contact the previous owner to release the phone from Find My iPhone, or if you cannot contact the previous owner, it is likely you received a stolen iPhone and it will be useless to you.

  • How do I get it back to the way it was on my iTunes with my playlists and songs?

    My playlists and songs have disappeared on iTunes after the most recent upgrade. The playlists and songs are still on my phone as they were since I haven't synced yet. But they completely disappeared in iTunes on my computer. So when I try to sync, it says that all the information will be deleted. I don't want to have to go through the trouble of re-doing all the playlists and adding all the songs again. It took me a while to get it the way I like it! So does anyone have a solution? Please and thank you!
    Oh and the only thing that stayed on were my purchases.

    Did you change the screen resolution?
    You can right-click on empty space on the Desktop and open the Display Properties.
    Control > Panel > Display > Settings

  • HT201386 Since the 8.02 update I now have every photo separated into an event for each pic. how do i get it back to the way it was before the update?

    I backed up my phone and then updated to the new update 8.02. I now have my pics in a separate album for each pic with an event attached to each one. how do i set it back up to the couple albums i had previously without adding all my pics from my computer which i dont want?

    You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
    Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

    Far as your Safari problem do these things until it's resolved:
    1: Software Update fully under the Apple menu.
    2: Check the status of your plug-ins and update (works for all browsers) also install Firefox and see if your problems continue. You should always have at least two browsers on the machine just in case one fails.

  • My mac froze and I was in an application. It asked me if i want it on safe mode and I hit yes. Now the app that was running is blurry. How do I get it back to the way it was before?

    Now the application is blurry

    Go to system preferences and select displays. Then make sure the default resolution for your machine is selected. If you don't know what the value is get MacTracker which will have it.

  • HT4865 I accidentally reset my phone can I get it back to the way it was

    I reset my phone and lost everything can I get it back

    Did you back it up to your computer?
    You can restore it from that back up via iTunes.

  • I cannot connect to the internet. I think I have my settings all out of whack now and need to get them back to the way they were when it was working. (I know my wireless router is working because my Dell has no problem connecting to the internet.)

    I cannot connect to the internet on my iMac through my wireless router. I think I screwed up the settings and need to reset them. I know the router is working because I can access the internet on my Dell laptop which is located right next to my Mac.

    On your iMac try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
    1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
    Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
    1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
    Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
    In the windows on the left side: Select login for Keychains and "All Items" for Category.
    Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
    1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
    Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
    Restart or log out then back in.
    2. Move System Configuration Files
    (Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
    Go to /Library/Preferences
    Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
    Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)

  • How do i reboot my 2013 mac mini to the way it was when i bought it

    how do i reset or reboot my mac mini back to the way it was when i bought it

    Yes. A COMMAND key may not be mapped onto your keyboard, but if it is, then it will probably be the key immediately on the left of the space bar and next to the ALT (OPTION) or CTRL key.

  • HT1414 How can I get my IPad back to the way it was before I updated it? I hate the way it is now!

    I recently upgraded my IPad because I thought it was a necessary security upgrade since Apple's security was recently compromised. I did not know it was going to reconfigure my settings. I hate it the way it is now and don't know how to get it back to the way it was. Is there anyway to reverse the upgrade without losing my pictures and other data? I also lost some expensive courses I had purchased. They are no longer there when I open the app.  I hate the way it organized my pictures too. I have no control over this, and it makes me very unhappy. Is there a way to fix it?

    I am afraid you can't.

  • Someone hacked my computer and set up a new administrative account by re-registering my computer. I can not access this account nor delete it. How can I fix this and get my computer back to the way it was?

    Someone hacked my computer and set up a new administrative account by re-registering my computer. I can not access this account nor delete it. How can I fix this and get my computer back to the way it was? And also prevent this from being able to happen again. I have the link the kid used (http://www.ihackintosh.com/2009/05/how-to-hack-the-user-password-in-mac-os-x-wit hout-an-os-x-cd/) Apparently he used hack 2. HELP PLEASE!

    Not sure why you can't delete that account. If you have admin privileges, you should be able to. Sounds like you only removed the Home Folder for that account.
    You should highlight/select the account you want to remove and then click the minus button. Might need to unlock the padlock with your admin password.
    Have a look at these articles from Apple, if necessary.

  • I tried to make a second library, but my first one was deleted so I did it again but now I have doubles of every song. How do I restore my itunes back to the way it was before I tried to make a 2nd library?

    Like I said I tryed to make another library, I did what Itunes told me to do but it only erased the library I had and made a new one. So I did it again but I now have duplicates of every song. How do I get my it back to the way it was, before I tried to make a second library?

    C:\Users\Cheye\Music\iTunes should be the original library. You should be able to connect to it as follows.
    Close iTunes, wait a few seconds, click the icon that starts iTunes and immediately press and hold down the shift key. Keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to the file C:\Users\Cheye\Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl.
    Depending upon exactly what you did this has either restored your library, or done absolutely nothing at all. That was the reason for asking you to check using the script.
    Assuming you still have a library full of dupes there are a number of ways to go. I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates which I discuss in some detail in this  thread. While it should work it will be ideal if it discards the copies that are outside the media folder C:\Users\Cheye\Music\iTunes\iTunes\iTunes Media. I've a feeling it will do exactly that, but it depends in part on exactly you got into this mess. It would be worth doing a few sample runs of just a few sets of duplicate files first.
