Here is one way to do this.
1. Make the first row of the sheet contain the header for each column. Let's say they are Author, Title, Genre, Pages, Date.
2. Fill in the information on each book.
Save a back up copy of the file before going further. Not because this is risky, but because you probably will have spent a lot of time entering data and you should always have a back up of important files.
3. When you are ready to sort click on ONE cell in the area where you have entered information
4. Select the menu Data -> Sort. You should now see that all of the data is highlighted in blue.
5. Use the drop down list in the Sort By area of the Sort dialog to choose the name of the column by which you want to sort.
6. Click OK.
