To sort data in a specific range in a Google Sheet using Apps Script, you can use the sort() method of the Range class. Here’s an example code snippet:
function sortData() { var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet(); var sheet = spreadsheet.getActiveSheet(); var range = sheet.getRange('A1:C10'); // Replace with the desired range to sort range.sort({column: 1, ascending: true}); // Replace with the desired sorting options }
In this code, the sortData function sorts data in a specific range in the Google Sheet. The active spreadsheet is obtained using SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet(). You can modify this line to access a specific spreadsheet if needed.
Next, the active sheet is obtained using getActiveSheet().
You can then define the range of cells you want to sort using the getRange() method. In this example, the range is set to 'A1:C10', but you should change it to your desired range.
The sort() method is called on the range object, passing an object with sorting options as an argument. In this example, the sorting options specify sorting by the first column (column: 1) in ascending order (ascending: true). You can modify these options based on your sorting requirements.
The sort() method will rearrange the rows within the specified range based on the sorting options provided.
You can call the sortData function from another function or set up triggers to execute it based on your needs. When executed, it will sort the data in the specified range in the Google Sheet.
Feel free to modify the code to suit your specific requirements, such as sorting data in different columns, specifying descending order, sorting based on multiple columns, or performing additional operations before or after the sorting process.
