Two things 1) Use a helper columns and separate the parts of the data and sort by these helper columns. In your example =Left(A1,1) =Right(A1,1) 2) Set up a custom list. ToolsOptionsCustom Lists and either type them in the order you want or import them from the sheet. Now go to DataSort...Optionsfirst key sort order and select your list -- HTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England DTHIS www.nickhodge.co.uk "raypen" wrote in message ...
