Good evening BangBanjo

The only way I can think of doing this using the Excel sort function is
to have an additional column inserted to use a sort key. If your data
is in column A, starting at A1, put in column B1 =ABS(A1) and copy it
down. This will give the absolute value (ie ignore minuses) and use
this as your sort key. As this column is a formula it will change as
the data in column A changes and could be hidden if required.

Or you could write a macro to do this without the intermediate step...
