    Sorting Cells in Columns in Excel by Upper or Lower Case words

    Hi All
    I have racked my brains on how to sort cells by Upper and Lower case words
    Eg: ANT, Bird, Cat, DOG, Eagle

    When i sort the cells i want the results to be either all Upper case words forst and then Lower case words, or vice vera.

    ANT
    DOG
    Bird
    Cat
    Eagle

    Hope this makes sense!

    Using your specific examples you could equally use:

    B1: =EXACT(A1,UPPER(A1))
    copied down

    Sort by B and then A as appropriate
