alpha numeric sorting
You can using a helper column
--With the data in Col A apply the below formula in ColB cell B1 and copy down. =0+MID(A1,FIND(",",A1)+1,99) --This will extract the numbers..Select ColA and ColB.; Sort by ColB. Once sorted you can remove ColB or keep it hidden...(for future sorts..) If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "troubled" wrote: I have a list of names, a comma, then numbers.
