    Sorting Columns in Ascending Order

    Hi All

    Iam have trouble sorting one of my Columns (Column C) into Ascending Order, the column contains Numbers & Text eg 13A

    the way it is currently sorted is:

    13A
    1B
    2A

    Where as I want it to be Sorted by Number then by Text eg:

    1B
    2A
    13A

    Attached is a copy of the workbook and the macro that i have been using, any help will be much appreciated

    Kind Regards
    Colin

    id do it with a formula in g2 assuming ther are only single alpas after numbers ie 32a not 32aa
    =TEXT(LEFT(C2,LEN(C2)-1),"000")&RIGHT(C2) fil down then sort by column G
