Default 3 level sort, last special order

What I mean is do one sort using the two non-special columns. Then do
another sort, this time only keyed on the special column.

Hi,
I am not sure what you mean. The first sort is by "W/O Num" with no
"special" order, the second sort is by "Customer", again with no special
order, then the last sort is by "Labor/Part/Misc", which is based on a

list
and is the special sort order, " "Labor ***", "Parts ***", "Misc. ***" ".

In
the last part of the sort, it puts it in alpha order, " "Labor ***",

"Misc.
***", "Parts ***" ".

I have tried choosing "special" at all the levels, but still no sucess.

Hi Group,
I have a spread sheet which I am sorting by 3 levels, all of which are
ascending. The last level of sort is based on Options with a specific

list,
which is not alphabetical anymore, but it does not seen to work and

puts
it
in alpha order anyway. Are "special" sort orders only good for the

first
level of sort?
