//Get the cells collection in the sheet

Cells cells = worksheet.getCells();

//Obtain the DataSorter object in the workbook

DataSorter sorter = workbook.getDataSorter();

sorter.setOrder1(SortOrder.ASCENDING);

//Define the first key.

sorter.setKey1(0);

//Set the second order

sorter.setOrder2(SortOrder.ASCENDING);

//Define the second key

sorter.setKey2(1);

//Create a cells area (range).

CellArea ca = new CellArea();

//Specify the start row index.

ca.StartRow = 1;

//Specify the start column index.

ca.StartColumn = 0;

//Specify the last row index.

ca.EndRow = 9;

//Specify the last column index.
