Default Sorting in Custom Alphabetical Order

Hi,

I need to sort a list of names in a different alphatecal order eg.
D,C,A,B. The Custom sorting in Excel works if I make a custom list of
complete strings eg. North, East, West, South.

Is there any way I can do this?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Regards,
Raj

Hi,

The data is to be sorted as under (these are just sample values, more
B's and A's will get added):

Black
Brown
Andrade
Angelina
(ie all the B's followed by all the A's and so on.)

How to make a custom list for this?

Regards,
Raj
