Can you tell me how to move the sheets in my spreadsheet based on the value of a cell? For example if I have cell P2 on each sheet with a number in it and I want to sort the sheets in ascending order based on cell P2 how would I do it? I've been toying with your script trying to figure it out but I am stuck. I would appreciate any assistance you can provide.

@rwillman483 That should be possible. You would need get the value of each cell in each sheet, push that to an array and then sort it. Let me see if I can work up an example for you.
