Is there a way in office 2000 to sort rows by color? I'm not good with code
and cutting and pasting over 1000 rows is becoming tiresome.

Thanks

Text color or background color?

Use a UDF - copy and paste this into a codemodule:

Function BGColor(myR As Range) As Integer
BGColor = myR.Interior.ColorIndex
End Function
Function FColor(myR As Range) As Integer
FColor = myR.Font.ColorIndex
End Function


Then use them like so

=BGColor(A2)
=FColor(A2)

depending on whether you want BackGroundColor or FontColor.

Copy the formula down to match your cells, then sort based on that column.

Chris,

Excel 2007 added this capability. For earlier versions, see
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/SortByColor.htm for example code to do this.
