    DVD Movie sort list

    Hello all I hope I am posting this right and in the correct place.
    I have been working on a DVD sort list for a few days now and after building and re building several times running into all kinds of problems mainly because I don’t know what I am doing. As in don’t have a lot of experience at this.
    I have a sorting column using text and no.s and it is getting hung up because of the mix of a text prefix I have looked on the net and can’t seem to find the correct answer to my problem or I am not reading something right , or I am not wording my question / problem right.

    this is my prefix I am using and if they all need to be the same length in letters I can change it .
    " West- "" Biog- "" War- "" Act- "" Hor- "" Com- "
    I am using these for the genre pretty much and they are followed by a no.
    5000 2500 1200 1000 800 600 500 400 300 200 100 these are my starting numbers

    West-5000 belongs to a dvd pack that has 50 movies in its dvd combo pack.
    Everything seams to work great with the sorting except it is putting West-5000 with West-500. it is crazy it reads through the whole name but it dose not know the difference in 500 and 5000.
    This is a sample of how it is sorting the column Z-A it is all working out except the no.s 5000 and 1200, they are out of whack.
    West-801-We
    West-801-We
    West-800-We
    West-800-We
    West-500-1952
    West-500-1936
    West-5000-1960
    West-5000-1960
    West-5000-1930
    West-5000-1922
    West-300-1991
    West-300-1956
    West-102-We
    West-102-We
    West-101-We
    West-101-We
    West-100-We
    West-100-We
    Act-801-Act
    Act-801-Act
    Act-800-Act
    Act-800-Act
    Act-500-Act
    Act-500-Act
    Act-1200-Act
    Act-1200-Act
    any help with this problem is much appreciated

    Hi, welcome to the forum

    Perhaps adding some punctuation would make this easier to read and understand?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Regards
