Default Sorting and Filtering by font

Microsoft should create a sort feature that allows you to filter out certain
fonts or sort fonts in a certain order. A filter would be much better, It
could be seperate from the filter that they have now. It should be a
completely seperate function that way you can still filter the column info
and also filter out other info in the same column, like font.

Default Sorting and Filtering by font

Hi ____.
The word you are trying to use is separate.

Actually I'm rather curious why you would want to sort on the font name.

You could use a User Defined Function to obtain the font name.
I don't think you are going to have much luck with your question as worded
even over a number of years because that is a user defined function or
as subroutine kind of thing.

Font

Show FORMULA or FORMAT of another cell
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel...tm#getfontname

Function getFontName(cell As Range) As String
getFontName = cell.Font.Name 'D.McR formula.htm
End Function

Instructions to install a macro or a user defined function in

To use if in same workbook
=GetFontName(A1)
To use if if your personal.xls workbook for use in other workbooks
=personal.xls!GetFontName(A1)

Use of your actual name in a technical newsgroup would be appreciated by people
taking the time to answer your question. We are a friendly group.
