GenJim and I are trying to figure out if and how we can sort
data in a Google Sheets file using an Apple device.
Easy enough to do with a Windows 7 PC.
Any info would be appreciated.

Sorting is possible but sharing is not (at the moment), Mac gave
me a walkthrough of what to click and even then it still says
"Link Sharing is OFF

Sorting is possible but only A--> Z or Z-->, when you want to
sort by numbers it doesn't work.
I tried... many times. That's why I do the RSA leaderboard on my
excel and not directly on the google shared doc.
When an excel doc is in your google drive folder, if you open it
with your own excel, update it and then save it, the share
google drive excel doc is updated right away. It's very
practical and it works for the leaderboard as no one else will
try to edit it during my update. That leads me to warn you of
the following.
If you have a shared google spreadsheet editable by everyone,
then do not update it on your own excel but always directly on
the shared doc because other people could be editing it at the
same time. Doing the update on your own excel and then saving it
might cancel other edits done while you were doing your own
editing.
