Hey everyone! I’m struggling with my Google Sheets workbook. It’s got tons of tabs and finding the right one is becoming a real pain. I’ve been using that little menu in the bottom left corner to jump between tabs, but it’s super messy and takes forever to scroll through.
Does anyone know if there’s a way to sort these tabs? I’m thinking maybe a plugin or some kind of add-on that could arrange them alphabetically. Even better if it could handle both letters and numbers, since some of my tabs are labeled by year.
I’ve looked around but can’t seem to find anything that does this. Am I missing something obvious? Or is this just not a thing in Google Sheets? Any help would be awesome. Thanks!
yo, try ctrl+F (or cmd+F if on mac) to find a tab instantly, saves time when you’ve got loads of tabs. also, maybe think about splitting your workbook if it gets unwieldy.
I’ve faced similar challenges with organizing tabs in Google Sheets. While there’s no built-in feature to automatically sort tabs, I’ve found a workaround that might help. You can manually reorder tabs by clicking and dragging them. It’s not ideal for large numbers of tabs, but it allows you to group related sheets together.
Another strategy I use is color-coding tabs. Right-click on a tab and select ‘Change color’ to assign different colors to categories of tabs. This makes it easier to visually navigate.
For quick navigation, try using the Ctrl+Shift+PageUp/PageDown shortcut to move between tabs. It’s faster than scrolling through the bottom menu.
If these manual methods aren’t sufficient, you might want to explore Google Apps Script. With some coding, you could potentially create a custom function to sort your tabs automatically.
