Sort text list by character length - how?
Hi!
I am an excel newbie. I have a text list of last names that I need to sort by character length. Not alphabetically, I know how to do that, but by number of letters in the name. Example, if I have the following list LAW OROZCO MCALLISTER LUGO DAVIES SHOEMAKER MADISON RUTHERFORD NEWSOME MAGEE I would need it sorted to LAW LUGO MAGEE DAVIES OROZCO MADISON NEWSOME SHOEMAKER MCALLISTER RUTHERFORD I have roughly 75,000 names I am working with, in bunches of 200, so being able to sort by character length will help me tremendously and speed things up. Any help with this is appreciated greatly! chris |
