you can use an @mid function to "strip off" the first 6
numeric characters and put into a new column, sort on this
formula with a secondary sort on the alphanumeric part
number to order the alpha numbers.

I am trying to sort a spreadsheet which has part numbers

as the main
description (ie: 500111, 500123, 500111A, 500111B,

500123A ...) I want the
sort option to sort the part number column with it's

associated data in
numerical order including the letters (ie: 500111,

500111A, 500111B, 500123,
500123A ... )
Anyone know how I can achieve this goal?
