This one worked perfect as well! Thank you SO much for your assistance,
as
well! Now I have two formulas to use instead of none. Thank you! RS

I don't know of any way. I would insert a helper column with the formula:
=if(len(a1)=5,left(a1,4)&"0"&right(a1,1),a1)

Then sort on that column. You can hide the column if you don't want it
displayed.

Regards,
Fred

I am trying to sort the following, but keep getting the wrong answer. I
want
A09-2 and A09-3 to be after A09-1, not the way it is shown below. I
appreciate any input. I know if I add a 0 in front of the 1, 2, or 3,
it
will sort okay. However, I prefer to not have to do that. Any help
would
be
much appreciated!

A09-1
A09-10
A09-11
A09-12
A09-13
A09-14
A09-15
A09-16
A09-17
A09-18
A09-19
A09-2
A09-20
A09-21
A09-22
A09-23
A09-24
A09-25
A09-26
A09-27
A09-28
A09-29
A09-3
