1. /*
2. The success of the entire script, especially the formatting, hinges
on the correct setup of the getColumnFormats() function. It's
essential that the column names and their corresponding formats in
this function accurately reflect the actual data structure in your
sheets for the script to work effectively.
3.
4. The script below is based on a google sheet that contains hotel
reservations data but the column order and the cell formatting was
not correct, the issue was happening with hundreds of tabs within
the same sheet, modify the script according to your needs:

6. 1. processSheets()
7. This is the main function that initiates the processing of all
sheets in the active spreadsheet. It performs several key tasks:

16. Processes an individual sheet by: (/SIGNUP)

17.
18. - Checking if the sheet has any columns and rows.
19. - Sorting the columns alphabetically based on headers.
20. - Writing the sorted data back to the sheet.
21. - Applying formatting to each column based on predefined rules.

22. - Returning the status of processing (success or error with notes).

23.
24. 3. applyFormat(range, formatInfo)
25. - Applies formatting to a given range in a sheet. It uses the
format information specified in the formatInfo parameter. The
function switches between different types of data (date, text,
number, currency) and applies the corresponding format.
26.
27. 4. logStatus(logSheet, sheet, status)
28. - Logs the processing status of each sheet in the 'Formatting Logs'

sheet. It records the sheet name, a hyperlink to the sheet, the

timestamp of processing, and notes on the status (success or

error).
29.

30. 5. setupLogSheet(logSheet)
31. - Sets up the initial headers in the 'Formatting Logs' sheet for

tracking. Headers include "Sheet Name", "Hyperlink", "Timestamp",

"Status", and "Status Notes".

32.
33. 6. isSheetProcessed(logSheet, sheetName)

34. - Checks if a sheet has already been processed successfully. It

prevents reprocessing of sheets that are already formatted.

35.

36. 7. getColumnFormats()
37. - Crucial for the entire script, this function returns a hardcoded

object mapping column names to their respective data types and

formats. It is essential that the user manually matches these names

and formats with the actual column names present in the sheets.
Failure to correctly match these will result in improper or failed

formatting. The formats for each type of data (like date, text,
number, currency) need to be predefined here.
