Sorting with alt-enter in the cells
In another column, enter
=VALUE(LEFT(A4,SEARCH(CHAR(10),A4)-1))
and copy down for all your rows of data. This assumes your data begins in
A4. Sort by this new column, which has only the numerical portions of the
other cells.
Hope this helps,

I have a column with cells that have data on 2 lines. On line is the product
name, line 2 is the product manager. To get them to appear in 1 cell but on
2 lines, I do an ALT-Enter [Actually, I take 2 other cells and do a
=concatenate(a1,char(10),b1)] at the end of the first line. Looks great but
doesn't sort correctly. If the values of 2 cells were
501
John Doe
and
10029
Jane Doe
it would sort those 2 rows with 10029 appearing first. What's a good way to
resolve this problem that doesn't require any knowledge of macros?
Thanks
