    How do I sort like this?

    Arvin (pop. 12,956)
    Ashland (pop. 20,793)
    Atascadero (pop. 26,411)
    Atherton (pop. 7,194)
    Atwater (pop. 23,113)
    Auburn (pop. 12,462)
    August (pop. 7,808)
    Avenal (pop. 14,674)

    How can I sort on the number so I get:

    Atherton (pop. 7,194)
    August (pop. 7,808)
    Auburn (pop. 12,462)
    Arvin (pop. 12,956)
    Avenal (pop. 14,674) etc.............

    Regards
    Mike

    I think you would need to structure your info into 2 columns
    City Population
    a 1000
    b 1
    and sort on column B as the key

    You could try this:

    In an adjoining ( "helper" ) column, enter this formula:

    =--SUBSTITUTE(MID(A1,FIND(".",A1)+1,25),")","")

    And copy down as needed.

    Then, select *both* columns, and sort on the "helper" column.

    Hi Mike,

    I did it by using Data > Text to Column, after removing "(" & " )" using,
    Find and Replace with Nothing, and then sorting on the population column.
