Hello everybody,

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Also, is there a way in which I can get it to sort everything with respect to one column - while ignoring two other columns so they dont sort?

This should do it.
VBA Code:
Function Alphabetize(SHEET as Worksheet, Argument, First_Row, Data_Column)
    ' Returns the Row to put the data into keeping the data alphabetized.
    ' 8/13/20 Created. WML
    
    Prog = "Alphabetize"
    
    LastRow = Last_Row(SHEET)  ' <--  However you do this on your system
    
    If LastRow < First_Row Then
        Alphabetize = First_Row
        SHEET.Cells(First_Row, Data_Column) = Argument
    Else
         For Row = First_Row To LastRow
             To_test = SHEET.Cells(Row, Data_Column)
             If To_test = Argument Then
                 Alphabetize = Row
             ElseIf To_test > Argument Then
                 Call Data_Insert_Rows(SHEET, Row, Row)
                 SHEET.Cells(Row, Data_Column) = Argument
             End If
        Next Row
    
        SHEET.Cells(Row, Data_Column) = Argument
    End If
    
    
End Function ' AlphabetizeSub Data_Insert(SHEET as Worksheet, Row1, Col1, _
                Row2_or_All_or_Minus_1, _
                Col2_or_ALL_or_Minus_1, _
                Insert_Arg As Insert_Types)
    ' Shift Cells
    ' XTRL values: xlDown, xlToRight, xlColumns, xlRows
    ' 10/6/15 Put in All_Rng call. WML
    ' 5/20/20 Reworked to standardize the code WML
    ' 5/30/20 Reworked. WMl
    
    Prog = "Data_Insert"
        
    Row2 = Row2_or_All_or_Minus_1
    Col2 = Col2_or_ALL_or_Minus_1
    
    If Row2 = -1 Or Row2 = "All" Then Row2 = Last_Row(SHEET, Col2)
    If Col2 = -1 Or Col2 = "All" Then Col2 = Last_Col(SHEET, Col2)
    
    If Row2 >= Row1 And Col2 >= Col1 Then
    
        RangeStr = Make_Range(Row1, Col1, Row2, Col2, SHEET)
        
        Select Case Insert_Arg
            Case it_Up
                SHEET.Range(RangeStr).Insert Shift:=xlShift_Up
            Case dsd_Shift_Left
                SHEET.Range(RangeStr).Insert Shift:=xlShiftToLeft
            Case dsd_Entire_Row
                SHEET.Range(RangeStr).EntireRow.Insert
            Case dsd_Entire_Column
                SHEET.Range(RangeStr).EntireColumn.Insert
        End Select
        
    Else
        ' No error message given.  Just did NOT excute any deletion.
    End If

        
End Sub ' Data_Insert


Sub Data_Insert_Rows(SHEET as Worksheet, Row_Start, _
                     Optional Row_End_or_ALL_or_Minus_1 = "")
    ' Insert indicated Rows & returning Start Row.
    ' 12/20/10 Use Sheet_Arg. WML
    ' 1/29/19 Changed "Data_Insert". WML
    ' 7/13/19 Changed "Col2" arg in Data_Insert call to -1. WML
    ' 4/23/20 Changes in "Data_Insert" calls. WML
    ' 6/3/20 Changed so if only 1 row to insert, don't need the second arg. WML
    
    Row_End = Row_End_or_ALL_or_Minus_1
    If Row_End = "" Then Row_End = Row_Start
    
    Call Data_Insert(SHEET, Row_Start, 1, Row_End, -1, it_Entire_Row)
                          
End Sub ' Insert_Data_Rows()
