Default Sorting numbers within a cell

Be careful of the sort algorithm. It is not a full sort.

If you start with
5,4,3,2,1

You will get the following steps
i = 0: 4,5,3,2,1
i = 1: 4,3,5,2,1
i = 2: 4,3,2,5,1
i = 3: 4,3,2,1,5

It only brought the 5 to the last position.

Hi...I am wanting to sort a series of numbers contained in a single
cell, with each number separated by a comma. I found the code below
in a search, but it doesn't seem to recognise the DELIM part. I am
using Excel 2003 and would appreciate any other solutions. First
prize would be a sort that doesn't put 125 before 2 for example, but
if need be, I can enter the numbers as 002,025,125 etc to negate this
problem.

Many thanks.

Public Sub SortNumbersWithinCells()
Const DELIM As String = ","
Dim sIn As String
Dim sArr As Variant
Dim sOut As String
Dim temp As Double
Dim change As Boolean
Dim i As Integer
Dim cell As Range

For Each cell In Selection
sIn = cell.Text
sArr = Split(sIn, DELIM)
Do
change = False
For i = 0 To UBound(sArr) - 1
If sArr(i) sArr(i + 1) Then
temp = sArr(i)
sArr(i) = sArr(i + 1)
sArr(i + 1) = temp
change = True
End If
Next i
Loop Until change = False
For i = 0 To UBound(sArr)
sOut = sOut & DELIM & sArr(i)
Next i
cell.Value = Mid(sOut, 2)
sOut = Empty
Next cell
End Sub
