Hey i would like to know if there is a way to sort this information by the 2nd and 3rd digit. So basically i would want this
As2d
8s8c
9s9d
9c7d
5s3c
5s4c
5d3c
9c6d
9c9s
to sort A-Z like this:
5s3c
5d3c
5s4c
8s8c
9c6d
9c7d
9s9d
9c9s
As2d
At the moment if i sort A-Z it doesn't group the 5x3x together it will instead list as this:
5d3c
5s4c
5s3c
Thanks

Assuming the list starts in A2, put this formula in B2 and copy down..
=LEFT(A2) & "-" & MID(A2,3,1)
This gives you an extracted code of the first and third digits. Now sort both A:B making sure to select B first so it is the primary column, then sort.
