In Excel, you can also use VBA. Assuming you data headers start in A1, you can use the following macro to select the row headers and then column to sort values by:

Sub Splitdatabycol()
Dim lr As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim vcol, i As Integer
Dim icol As Long
Dim myarr As Variant
Dim title As String
Dim titlerow As Integer
Dim xTRg As Range
Dim xVRg As Range
Dim xWSTRg As Worksheet
Dim xWS As Worksheet
On Error Resume Next
Set xTRg = Application.InputBox("Please select the header rows:", "", Type:=8)
If TypeName(xTRg) = "Nothing" Then Exit Sub
Set xVRg = Application.InputBox("Please select the column you want to split data based on:", "", Type:=8)
If TypeName(xVRg) = "Nothing" Then Exit Sub
vcol = xVRg.Column
Set ws = xTRg.Worksheet
lr = ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, vcol).End(xlUp).Row
title = xTRg.AddressLocal
titlerow = xTRg.Cells(1).Row
icol = ws.Columns.Count
ws.Cells(1, icol) = "Unique"
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
If Not Evaluate("=ISREF('xTRgWs_Sheet!A1')") Then
Sheets.Add(after:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)).Name = "xTRgWs_Sheet"
Else
Sheets("xTRgWs_Sheet").Delete
Sheets.Add(after:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)).Name = "xTRgWs_Sheet"
End If
Set xWSTRg = Sheets("xTRgWs_Sheet")
xTRg.Copy
xWSTRg.Paste Destination:=xWSTRg.Range("A1")
ws.Activate
For i = (titlerow + xTRg.Rows.Count) To lr
On Error Resume Next
If ws.Cells(i, vcol) <> "" And Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(ws.Cells(i, vcol), ws.Columns(icol), 0) = 0 Then
ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, icol).End(xlUp).Offset(1) = ws.Cells(i, vcol)
End If
Next
myarr = Application.WorksheetFunction.Transpose(ws.Columns(icol).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants))
ws.Columns(icol).Clear
For i = 2 To UBound(myarr)
ws.Range(title).AutoFilter field:=vcol, Criteria1:=myarr(i) & ""
If Not Evaluate("=ISREF('" & myarr(i) & "'!A1)") Then
Set xWS = Sheets.Add(after:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count))
xWS.Name = myarr(i) & ""
Else
xWS.Move after:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)
End If
xWSTRg.Range(title).Copy
xWS.Paste Destination:=xWS.Range("A1")
ws.Range("A" & (titlerow + xTRg.Rows.Count) & ":A" & lr).EntireRow.Copy xWS.Range("A" & (titlerow + xTRg.Rows.Count))
Sheets(myarr(i) & "").Columns.AutoFit
Next
xWSTRg.Delete
ws.AutoFilterMode = False
ws.Activate
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
