Maybe you could give us half-a-dozen DDS numbers and tell how they failed to
sort for you

Hello,

I am trying to sort data in an excel document using the dewey decimal
system (0000.00.00.00). For some reason the sort is not working properly.
I
have tried to format the cells several different ways and I have also
selected different options under "international" and, thus far, can find
nothing to work. If anyone has any information or suggestions on doing
this,
it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
