You would need to write a UDF that extracts that cell, or that part of the
cell, that you want, reverse the text and return that reversed value into a
helper column. Then sort on that helper column.

Are you saying that if the email address is



it should revert to

moc.erehwemos@:em

?

I have a pile of email addresses and i would like to go through them
ordered
by company to see how many we have from each company and see who we have
of
interest in our list? the list is ordered alphabetically and i would like
it
remain ordered alphabetically but in the style of a rhyming dictionary ie
last letter given highest priority and the first letter the lowest. I am
suprised i couldnt find the answer in help because this is normally used
for
lists of dates. ie put the year first, month second and day last then you
have from the date a numeric sequence corresponding to chronological
order.
in summary i would like the list ordered alphabetically as if it were a
mirror image of itself. i use excel 2003. many thanks
