How to get google sheets to reorder based on ranking - google-apps-script

Question

I have created a Google Sheet that has a "days since" rank based on differences from todays date to date of the last "incident".
These days update automatically, but what I want is to have a ranking system where the Google Sheet reorders if the date of someone's last incident changes.
Is this possible? I have attached the link below, but it is a very simple formula as of now.
Row D: =today()-C3

Answer 1

If you don't want to use Google Apps Script you may duplicate this table (in sheet2 for example) and have it's content duplicated there within sort() function.
Lets say you put
=sort(Sheet1!A3:D8,4,0) in A3 cell of new Sheet2
I know it's not exactly the goal...

Answer 2

I believe your goal as follows.
You want to automatically sort the data with the column "C" when users edited the cells "C3:C8".
The table of the data is the cells "A3:D8".
From your tag of google-apps-script, I thought that your direction includes to use Google Apps Script.
In this case, I would like to propose to use OnEdit simple trigger for achieving your goal. The sample script is as follows
Sample script:
Please copy and paste the following script to the container-bound script of the Spreadsheet and save it.
function onEdit(e) {
const range = e.range;
const sheet = range.getSheet();
if (sheet.getSheetName() == "Sheet1" && range.getRow() >= 3 && range.getRow() <= 8 && range.getColumn() == 3) {
sheet.getRange("A3:D8").sort({column: 3, ascending: true});
}
}
When you edit the cells "C3:C8", the script is automatically run by the OnEdit simple trigger, and the data is sorted with the column "C".
Result:
When your shared Spreadsheet is used with above sample script, the following result can be obtained.
Note:
When you want to sort with the column "D", please modify above script as follows.
From
sheet.getRange("A3:D8").sort({column: 3, ascending: true});
To
sheet.getRange("A3:D8").sort({column: 4, ascending: false});
