Google Sheets – How to Fix Missing Insert Script Menu Option

You can add your script as a library in the new spreadsheet. Lets start from the beginning. This sample code will add a string to the active cell:

function libTest(text) {
  var sh = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()
    .getActiveSheet().getActiveCell();
  sh.setValue(text);
}

Save the script, by creating a version:

Next, copy the Project Key from the script editor:

Publish the script as a web app (execute only you):

In the new spreadsheet, open the script editor. Chose Manage Libraries from the resources option and enter and select the key/library:

In the script editor you can now add the following code:

function test(){
  libTest.libTest("jacobjan");
}

There are a couple of ways to do that. First, you need to declare the spreadsheet:

var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();  

Secondly, declare the first sheet like this:

var sh0 = ss.getSheets()[0];

or like this:

var sh0 = ss.getSheetByName("Robin");

Then set the active cell and retrieve the column index:

var editedCell = sh0.getActiveRange().getColumnIndex();

And do the logic for the sort:

var columnToSortBy = 1;
var tableRange = "a2:I30";

if(editedCell == columnToSortBy){   
  var range = sheet.getRange(tableRange);
  range.sort( { column : columnToSortBy } );
}

Complete code, a bit shortened:

function onEdit(){
  var sh0 = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheets()[0];
  var editedCell = sh0.getActiveRange().getColumnIndex();

  if(editedCell == 1) { 
    var range = sh0.getRange("A2:I30");
    range.sort({column: 1});
  }
}
