Want to sort a list of numbers by last two digit...
Hi,
I have a long list of numbers ie 1.2003 to 7.2007 that are not in order how can I sort them so I get them in month and year order. When I do a sort know I get them in Month and year order ie 1.2003 2.2004 3.2005 and not 1.2003 2.2003 1.2004 2.2004 Cheers Paul. Paul. |

You'll have to use 2 helper columns to separate the data into month and year - (using text formulas like FIND and LEFT and RIGHT). Then you can sort data based on two columns - year first then month second.

You could do a find and replace the . with / and then format the column into
mm/yyyy that would do the trick. Paul wrote: Hi, I have a long list of numbers ie 1.2003 to 7.2007 that are not in order how can I sort them so I get them in month and year order.
