Twitter Sort Tool

Twitter Sort Tool

I'll show you how I created a Twitter tool sort to organize my list of every tool I use to run better sheets.
Paste a list into Sheets and using a simple formula, I was able to determine the length of each item.

Then, I sorted the list in ascending order based on the length column. I even experimented with sorting it in descending order too!

Finally, I deleted the original list and pasted the sorted one using the "paste values" option. It's all done and ready to be shared. Check it out and let me know what you think! Don't forget to tweet about it if you find it helpful. Enjoy
