Sorting numbers with differing numbers of digits
Look in the help under "Default sort orders" to gain a better understanding
of how Excel sorts data. I don't think you can change the sorting rules.
You just have to learn to work around them. For example: If you want 700-710
to come before 7000-7100 you will need to enter it as 0700-0710.

We have a list of numbers that we are having difficulty sorting. For
example, 7000-7100 should come after 700-710 because 7000 is more than 700.
The text ABC-D and a space should also preceed each number. Can you please
assist? Thanks.
