I notice that unlike Access, Excel doesnt sort numbers in their true
numerical sequence. e.g. a varying digit ID field I have ends up sorted as such: 1008 1009 101 1010 1011 etc. Obviously 101 shouldnt be between these values, it should be way before these particular ones. The column is formatted as 0 dp numbers. Is there a simple trick with formatting/ options etc. that will let me see the results in true numerical order? I wondered about forcing them to all have the same amount of digits with custom format maybe... Thanks in advance |
