How to Alphabetize in Google Sheets?

Sort the whole sheet by one column

1. Click the letter of the column (A, B, …) or any cell in it.
2. Data → Sort sheet → Sort sheet by column X, A → Z.
3. If row 1 is a title, use Data → Sort range → Advanced range sorting options and tick Data has header row, then pick the column and A–Z.

A → Z vs. Z → A: A–Z is alphabetical (and smallest numbers first). Z–A is reverse.

Keep rows together: never sort a single column of names if the emails are in the next column unless that whole range is selected — you'll mismatch rows. Highlight all related columns or sort the sheet.

Filter view: the funnel on the header also has A–Z for a quick visual sort without changing the underlying sheet as permanently in some workflows; Data → Sort is the straightforward alphabetize.

Case and blanks: Sheets' default sort is case-insensitive for letters. Blanks often sink to the bottom or top depending on the option — check the result once.
