This method will guide you to save the list you have sorted by custom criteria as a custom list, and then apply the custom criteria to other data easily. Please do as follows:

1. After sorting a list, please click File > Options (or Office button > Excel Options) to open the Excel Options dialog box.

2. In the Excel Options dialog box, click the Advanced in the left pane, and then click the Edit Custom Lists button in the General section. See screenshot:

6. In the opening Sort dialog box, specify the list you will sort from the Column drop down list, keep Values selected from the Sort On drop down list, and select Custom List from the Order drop down list. See screenshot:

One click to backup (take a snapshot of) current workbook, and one click to restore workbook

When undoing some operations in Excel, generally you may click the Undo button repeatedly. However, this Undo feature is frequently unable to revoke operations by VBA code. Here we recommend Kutools for Excel's Track Snap utility, which can help you temporally backup current workbook with only one click and recover your workbook to any backup versions with also only one click in Excel.
