A - is an ascending list of numbers that identify measurements
B - aligned with the numbers in A, this is the full name of each measurement
C- as in B, these are short forms of the measurement names
D- is a list in random order (actually previously sorted based on data in 32
columns to the right of column D not displayed here).

Objective:
To sort Columns A, B & C into the order of the random order in column D.

Issue:
I have posted this in several areas, but the responses all result in a sort
that does not achieve the necessary results - most yield a full re-sort of
all 4 columns - not what I require.

An urgent reply is needed, this project is huge, is overdue and I'm in a
panic.

Thank you in advance for the right answer.......

Do you mean that you want the information from A2:C2 to appear on row
1 (as D1 = 1), and A19:C19 to appear on row 2 (as D2 = 18) ?

If so, put these formula in the cells stated:

E1: =INDEX(B:B,$A1+1)

F1: =INDEX(C:C,$A1+1)

Then copy down to row 23. You can then fix the values in columns E and
F (using copy/paste special etc), and then delete columns A to D.

Hope this helps.

Sorry, you want to delete columns A to C afterwards, so D becomes the
new A.

Hope this helps.

Pete - would you mind if I contacted you by email - your suggestion didn't
work, and perhaps we could communicate directly on this issue. I would
really appreciate that.

Ok, you can reach me at:

However, please do not sent me a "huge" project file (your word).

As a follow-up, and for the records, my earlier formulae assumed the
data started at row 1. Also, I didn't spot that no 19 was missing.
When the OP sent his sample data to me I saw that the data started on
row 4, and so had to amend the formulae as follows:

I4: =INDEX(B$4:B$25,MATCH($D4,$A$4:$A$25,0))

J4: =INDEX(C$4:C$25,MATCH($D4,$A$4:$A$25,0))

These were copied down to row 25 and gave him what he wanted (well,
for his sample - the real data covered several 1000 rows).
