If you only use MB you can use numbers instead of text and use a custom
format like
0 "Mb"
then it will sort as
10 Mb
10 Mb
114 Mb
128 Mb
128 Mb
1000 Mb
1000 Mb
otherwise you need to use a help column that will extract the numeric part
and then select both columns and sort by the help column

I'll probably slap myself when someone shows me how to do this, but I'm
stuck...
I've got a series of values in a column as follows:
10 Mb
10 Mb
1000 Mb
1000 Mb
114 Mb
128 Mb
128 Mb
Obviously 1000 mb is more than 10 mb, but it sorts as second in the list
because it starts with a "1". How do I tell Excel to sort by the entire
numerical value instead of the first number?
Thanks in advance :-D
