How to sort a column in reverse (right-to-left)

Can you split the column into 4 seperate columns using data ---text to columns
(format all cells as text beforehand so you dont lose leading 0's)?
Then Select entire region and sort by Col D then other criteria

You could highlight the cells and use DataSort and then
select which columns you wish to sort by. HTH

I don't believe you can sort both in one operation. Select your cells, then
Data|Sort and select options. You can then choose "Sort left to right"
instead of "Sort top to bottom". Select ascending or descending depending on
the order you want. Then Sort it again going top to bottom (normal).

With your data in A15, select the entire range. Click on Data|Sort, select
sort by Col D. In the next sort option, select sort by Col C, and click on
OK, that's it

I'm sorry, but I forgot to mention that these 'numbers' are all in one cell,
so "DC 00 03 20" is in one cell. And another thing is, that I want to have it
sorted that you first see all the 'numbers' which end on 0, after that, 1
etc. Like this:
DC03210
FE65520
BD92940
CT84170
GT99280
SE38734
FT01484
DR04567
RD31798

I hope you know how to tackle this one!

Thnx!
