Default excel within row sorting problem

I have the following data in a worksheet
i have 800 rows of differing values.

For any 1 row:
Important note: it is in pairs, that is columns A,B is pair 1, C,D is pair
2, E,F is pair 3.

i want to sort it WITHIN ROW on columns b,d,f, with the smallest value in
b,d or f first then the next largest then the largest.

For example
A B C D E F
5 12 2 3 1 6

would become
A B C D E F
2 3 1 6 5 12

b=3
d=6
f=12
this is what i want, the pairs sorted in ascending order for b,d,f for a
given row.
is this possible?

this answer is for 1 row:

A2: =B1
B2: =B1

then copy across as many columns as you need

then sort rows 1 and 2 with row 2 as the sort by row


But I need to do this for 800 rows...

any help very much appreciated

thanks
