Insert a new column next to your data, enter the formula
=RIGHT(A1,7), copy down as far as you need to go, and sort on
that column.

I am missing something, sorry. I data I want to limit to seven characters
starts in column G2. In H2 I entered the formula, =right(h2,7), but it
doesn't display the last seven - what did I do wrong?
