Hmmh.  Ok.  There's two places you can find it depending on what kind
of keyboard you are using:

If it's a desktop keyboard, it's the key right next to the right
control key.  It's on the same side of the keyboard as the enter key
is and and it's the first key to the left of that control button.
Make sense?

If you are using a laptop keyboard, it gets trickier.  On my Dell,
it's above the f9 key right up against the screen.

Hope that helps.  Oh, and, I'm at work now so I can tell you where on
the ribbon this key is in Excel if you can't find the application key.
 It's in the Data tab of the ribbon.  From where you are wanting to
sort, hit alt to activate the ribbon and then arrow right till you
hear Data Tab.  Now, hit down arrow to take you into the menu and hit
the tab button until you get to the sort options.

Happy sorting,
Alex
