Default Very basic question - how long can a list be?


I have to make a list of names and associated information. The names (in
'surname, initial' order) are being entered in column A, with the other
information across the row, in columnss B to G. Every so often, I
click on cell A1 and get the list sorted alphabetically. All very
easy!

However, I've just realised that I'll be entering in the region of
3,500 names! My question is, simply, can I make a list that long? It's
something I've never done in Excel before, and I don't know if there's
a limit to the number of names I can put in one column on Sheet 1.
Don't think I can split the work between 3 sheets, as the whole list
will need to be put into alphabetical order, so it'd need to be one
great long list.

Many thanks.
