Sorting numerically

Hi

I have a column with a list C1 to C2000,
it is jumbled up, I want to sort it numerically from
C1,
C2 etc
but when I sort the column it puts C1001 before C123, is there some way I
can stop this.

thanks

Daniel

You need to use a help column since the data is text, if indeed the data
starts with C then the numbers you can use

=--REPLACE(A3,1,1,"")

then sort on the help column ascending
