How to organize Google Sheets by date (+ automate)

Organizing Google Sheets by date can be done manually with a few clicks, but maintaining this organization as new data is added presents a challenge. While many users rely on manual sorting, automated approaches using Google Sheets functions like SORT() and QUERY(), or Google Apps Script, offer more dynamic solutions. However, these methods can be limited by changes in sheet structure or complexity of logic required. CodeWords provides an alternative with workflows that automate sorting, cleaning, and reorganization of spreadsheets without the need for scripting, offering a more robust solution for ongoing management. The use of AI in platforms like CodeWords can extend beyond simple sorting by handling tasks such as data cleaning, normalization, and integration with other tools like Slack for notifications, reducing time spent on data preparation. Sorting should be viewed as part of a system rather than a one-time task, and automation can make maintaining date-based organization more efficient and reliable.
