Hi,

And for a third approach you can use a formula. Assuming your first name
starts in A2 then enter the following formula in an adjactent column and sort
on this new column:

=MID(A2,FIND(" ",A2,FIND(" ",A2)+1)+1,9)

If the surnames are longer than 9 characters just increase the last argument.


Thanks Shane
I'll try that too
