    Sorting Numbers

    Hello,

    Is there a way to sort so that I have the order 1, 2, 3, ... 10, 11, 12 and so on?

    I noticed when I sort the 10 comes after the 1.

    Thank you

    Re: Sorting Numbers

    that happens when your numbers are stored as text then 10 comes after 1 and before 2

    so you have a formatting issue with your excelsheet.

    When your numbers are stored as numbers in the cells then sort order is 1,2,3 as expected.

    In this link you can find ways to fix this issue

    I think I tried that but my column seems to be out of order. Can you look on my Group column please?

    The group column contains text:

    1. Housing, etc.

    The only way you can get what you want is to relabel in this fashion:

    001. Housing

    May I ask why my table bottom row doesn't have a border?
