Default In Excel, how do I sort a range by text color?

I have a column of text data that has different colors for each row of text.
I need to be able to sort the data so that all the rows of the same color
will be displayed together. I am using OfficeXP.

Howmany different colors do you have? You can always insert a cloumn and
number the colored rows (1=yellow, 2=red and so forth). Then sort the rows
including the numbered column.
