SORT a column of Texts to follow another "EXACT" order
 
A B
KC BALT
DET TEN
NE WASH
PHI PIT
OAK STL
PIT KC
TEN NE
WASH OAK
BALT DET
STL PHI

There we have it: The same 10 names in column A appear in column B!

HOW CAN I REARRANGE COLUMN B TO EXACTLY DUPLICATE THE ORDER THAT COLUMN A IS
IN?

THANKS,

You can import the list with correct sort order, assume the list is in
A1:A10, select
A1:A10, do toolsoptionscustom lists, it should be select then just click
import

Now select the other list, do datasort and click the options button, from
the dropdown select the list you imported
and click OK twice

Hi,

The simplest if it suits you needs is to put this in B1 and drag down

=A1

Maybe you could use a formula:

=A1
and drag down to B10.

But I don't understand what you're really doing.

When I click my 2nd list...datasort, I get a question to expand the current
selection;

whether I click expand or not, I cannot see where the list I inported is
found?

Please help. Thanks,

Have you thought of copying column A and pasting over column B?
