The rows in my data are one of three colors (Red, Yellow, or Green). Is there a way I can sort my rows by color- red on top, then yellow and then green?

Why not sort by the criteria that established the colors.

Where did the colors come from to begin with? Conditional formatting?
HTH

rows are colored based on a column in the data. VBA does the conditional formatting
Alan- thanks for the link, but it does not have the information I need. It just shows how to use code to indicate the index color, and then manually sorts it by the color (# of index color).
I'm creating a template for someone and would prefer this step be automated. If anyone is able to point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated!
Why not sort on this criteriarows are colored based on a column in the data.
If I knew how to sort based on any criteria I wouldn't ask how to sort based on color.
Does anyone on this forum know how to sort by color?? Red- Yellow-Green?
You may not believe it, but Alan and I are simply trying to help, but I guess you don't see it.
We are simply asking, what is the condition you are using to generate the colors? If you can apply CF to generate the color, you should be able to use that same criteria to create a way to sort.
Example: Let's say Red is generated because column A says "up". Yellow is because column A say "even", and green is column A, "down".
Now you could use a formula in an empty column to say, =LOOKUP(A2,{"down","even","up"},{3,2,1})
This would generate your list to sort, but then again, what do I know. I just come here for free...
