Default Sorting Columns

Can I sort by the second letter in a column? The first letter is the same but
the second letters are different and I need the sort to the second level..

Thansk,

Default Sorting Columns

Produce a helper column with =MID(A1,2,1), and sort by that column.
Of course, if the first letter is the same, a normal sort would sort by the
second letter.
