Ok, some genious sent me a spreadsheet with thousands of rows that I
need to extract and sort out all text that is red. Is there a way to
sort to maybe do an if/then formula in an additional column to input
some text to do a quick sort on that?

Thank you, but I am not sorting by cell color but color of text.

Did you read all the page?

Using Chip's Functions you can sort by cell color OR by font color.

Have another look at the part that states........

If you want to sort by the Font color of the cell, use the formula

=ColorIndexOfCell(A1,TRUE,TRUE)
