Using Numbers 3.6.1
I’m trying to improve processes I perform in my job. I regularly download and need to massage ~850 lines of spreadsheet data but the variables seem to be either impossible to work with or the method required beyond my comprehension. Can someone please help save me from going bonkers?
- The data is records of Administrators and their users, —sometimes 0 users, no maximum.
- Users share the same alphanumeric ID as their Administrators
- There are two types of Administrators; The ‘John Allagain’ kind and ‘other’ various Administrators.
I need to order the whole spreadsheet go from something like this: (Ordered only by the alphanumeric ID)

So the resulting hierarchy is:
- Each Administrator named John Allagain, with
- Their respective Users underneath, followed by
- Each of the remaining Administrators, with
- Their respective Users underneath.
How do I achieve this?
