advice needed
 
I need to sort 4 random numbers into numerical order. the numbers would be
entered into a row for example, A1:A4.

Now, I need to be able to check each of the numbers and place them in
numerical order, highest first, in A10:A13.... is this possible. I can take
the highest and lowest by way of the max and min function but my head is
caved in trying to think of how to sort the 2 middle ones out. Any help on
this would really be appreciated..... Thanks in advance!!

Use LARGE or SMALL. See the XL help guide.

Hi Duncan
In A1, type =LARGE(A10:A13,1)
Do the same in A2,A3,A4, making sure you change the last number in the
formula to 2,3 and 4
