Funny -- my brain does work this way. Applications that permit sorting by clicking on column headers (which Excel 2003 does not support) always (AFAIK) want you to do it so that the major result is the last column clicked. When I fly somewhere, my destination is the last place I stop. When I sort books into a pile, the one on top (the important one) is the last one I put there. When I tell someone how I want something ordered, I say A within B within C. Saying A then B then C is ambiguous. What does "then" mean temporally? Usually it would mean C after B after A, but in Excel it means A after B after C.
Shows there's nothing so strange as folks.
