sorting / formula
 

I need a formula that will sort/rearrange names to match another column. for
example Column A has 50 names (sorted aphabetically) and Column B has 30
names (sorted aphabetically). Is there any formula that i can put in column
C which will make the names in column b sort to match the names in column A?
Essentially some rows in column c will be blank as there are 20 names missing.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Hi
In excel look up the help on "sort a range". look at sub heading "use
your own data as the sort order".
