Answer 1

The correct answer is option 2

Key Points

Sort A to Z: ✅ When you use the "Sort A to Z" option on a column containing text, the text is sorted alphabetically from A to Z.
Unchanged Text: ❌ The text does not remain unchanged; it is rearranged in alphabetical order.
Sort Z to A: ❌ Sorting Z to A is the reverse alphabetical order and is not applicable with the "Sort A to Z" option.
Text to Numbers: ❌ The text is not converted into numbers when sorting alphabetically.

Additional Information

Sorting Logic: Sorting A to Z arranges text in ascending order based on the ASCII values of characters, starting with 'A' and ending with 'Z'.
Case Sensitivity: Sorting may be case-sensitive, where uppercase letters are sorted separately from lowercase letters, unless otherwise specified.

Hence, the correct answer is: option 2) The text is sorted alphabetically from A to Z.
