The correct sequence for sorting a range of cells in ascending order in MS Excel 365 is:

Here's how you do it:

  1. Select the range of cells: Click and drag your mouse over the cells you want to sort.
  2. Open the Sort dialog box:
    • Method 1: On the "Data" tab, in the "Sort & Filter" group, click "Sort."
    • Method 2: Right-click within the selected range and choose "Sort" from the context menu.
