Sorting
I am trying to sort alpha-numeric cells all in the same column. But I cannot
get the sort in order. For example; COND7 COND8 COND9 COND10 COND11 COND12 COND13 COND14 COND15 COND16 COND17 COND18 COND109 COND110 COND111 COND112 1SHDAE 151E2 30SHDY 31SHDY Sort Result is not what I would expect 151E2 1SHDAE 30SHDY 31SHDY COND10 COND109 COND11 COND110 COND111 COND112 COND12 COND13 COND14 COND15 COND16 COND17 COND18 COND7 COND8 COND9 |

Don't know what you expected - did you look at the "When I sort, I do
not get the results I expect" topic in XL Help? In article , appeng wrote: I am trying to sort alpha-numeric cells all in the same column. But I cannot get the sort in order.

Sorting
Excel is sorting the data in an alpha-numeric order (just like a dictionary
would). And 1's come before 2's. You could either extract the numbers from your data into a different column. And sort your range by these two helper columns (Cond in one column, 7 in the next). Or you could edit your entries: Cond0007 cond0008 cond0009 cond0010 .... To get the sort you want. appeng wrote: I was expeciting at least to see COND7 COND8 COND9 COND10 COND11 COND12 COND13 COND14 COND15 COND16 COND17 COND18 COND109 COND110 COND111 COND112 "JE McGimpsey" wrote: Don't know what you expected - did you look at the "When I sort, I do not get the results I expect" topic in XL Help?
