Yes, you can sort and filter in Google Sheets. The Data Menu has a lot of these options. The way I use it is to create a filter first on the entire spreadsheet (click on square above row 1 and to the left of column A to highlight/select the entire sheet, then select "Create a filter" from the data menu):
Once the filter has been created, there will be a little triangle on the first row (I also apply a colour background to the first row so that it's clearly the header row). Clicking on the triangle for any of the columns will bring up the sort and filter options for that column. So you can then sort the entire sheet by that column.
