Is there any way to sort the expense and budget columns in the monthly budget sheet by dollar amount spent instead of only alphabetically? I would like for my expenses to appear in order of highest dollar amount budgeted to lowest not alphabetically.

> Hello, I would like to sort the monthly budget sheet such that the highest budgeted amount is first, rather than in alphabetical order. I tried modifying another post that sorted by amount spent but couldn’t quite get the scripting just right. Thanks!
