    How to arrange times without moving them

    Hello,

    How can I do the following (I don't know how to explain this).
    If I have something like this:
    00:23:56
    00:56:12
    00:20:14
    00:58:58

    And I would like to arrange them like this. From shortest to longest.
    00:23:56 2
    00:56:12 3
    00:20:14 1
    00:58:58 4

    What do I have to do, to get Excel to arrange them without moving them around?
    Thanks.

    Re: Help needed, don't know how to call it.

    Hi UncleOnu, wellcome to the forum...

    Please, rename your title according to the rules:

    1. Use concise, accurate thread titles. Your post title should describe your problem, not your anticipated solution. Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.

    To change the title of the thread, click EDIT on the original post, then click the Go Advanced button, then change the title. If two or more hours have passed, the EDIT button will not appear, and you need to ask a moderator to change the title.

    If your data is in cells A1:A4 then this formula in cells B1:B4 will work ... =MATCH(1,INDEX(--(A1=SMALL($A$1:$A$4,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&COUNTA(A:A))))),0),0)

    Advice to the OP - go with inayat's formula, they know what they're talking about and haven't made things needlessly complicated.
