You can use ORDER BY clause to sort data rows by values in columns  Something like   QUERY responses A1 K   Select C  D  E where B contains  2nd Web Design  Order By C  D     If you   d like to order by some columns descending  others ascending  you can add desc asc  ie    QUERY responses A1 K   Select C  D  E where B contains  2nd Web Design  Order By C desc  D

Sorting by C and D needs to be put into number form for the corresponding column  ie 3 and 4  respectively  Eg  Order By 2 asc
