    Your image shows things being assigned to two different categories (Day shift or Night shift), which is (in Excel parlance) more of  a matter of FILTERing than SORTing. The latter tends to mean putting into numerical or alphabetical order.

     

    That aside, in the absence of the actual spreadsheet to illustrate the "How to" that you're seeking, let me point you to this YouTube video which will introduce you to the new FILTER and SORT functions. You need the most recent version of Excel on your computer to be able to take advantage of these functions.

    If you want more specific help, please come back and post a copy of that spreadsheet itself.
