    Re-order words within text string

    Hi guys,

    I'm curious if there's a way to take a text string and change the word order based the first letter of each word(alphabetically)

    Example:
    Original text: great vacation places for hiking in europe
    Desired text: europe for great hiking in places vacation

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi there. This can be done (with a bit of VBA). Here's a link to the original post:

    In your specific case, change the UDF to =SortWithinCell(A3," ",TRUE)
