Hi all,

In column A I have the description of wines, 3 up to 6 lines per record. A
blank cell separates each record from the next one.
To the right of the first cell of the record (so in column B) is the price
in euros.

Example:

Etienne Sauzet "Perrières" 2003 (available per 1 bottle) 58,75
Puligny montrachet premier cru white
... More Informations
1855 Notation:
Parker Notation: 89 / 100

Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard 2003 (available per 1 bottle) 35,27
Chassagne-montrachet white
... More Informations

Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard 2003 (available per 1 bottle) 293,75
etc. etc.

Please notice the European notation with decimal comma in stead of decimal
point.

I want to sort the records by price but keep the order of the cells in each
record. How can I do this?
