Old Spreadsheet Needs Some Attention

I am trying to figure our how to sort an old spreadsheet.  Over 2500 rows and 8 columns in the following order:

file - year- name- address- additional info...

The issue is the files are all over the place and not in ascending order.  I think it's because the file number and year are in different columns?  Any suggestions on how I can format this?  The file numbers are duplicated each year but the year row changes accordingly.  I appreciated any help/ideas.  Thank you!

    beckyMT On the Home ribbon, look for the Sort & Filter button. Click and then Custom Sort. Here you can set multiple sort levels. E.g. first by year then by file number.
