[Jprogramming] Rearranging rows of tables

[Linda A Alvord]

I guess I should explain better.  If column 1 is a birth year, and column 3 is a death year. I want to rearrange the rows from smallest to largest (or maybe someday from largest to smallest).  Column 2 would be person's name.a

Let me know if this still isn't clear.  Linda

Or, if you prefer:
