Sorting problem
Posted by David on August 15, 2000 2:36 AM
Is there any reason anyone can think of where sorting wouldn't work
I have a list of close to 600 serial numbers. Most are numbers but some start with letters. When I sort there are always a few numbers at the beginning of the list that just don't belong there. They belong further down on the list. Any clues.
They are formatted as general none are formula's or links. They are selected in the sort. This is how the list starts. After 0000 they are fine.

Possibly you've got some "spaces" at the front of the numbers. Try deleting the spaces and formatting again as General.
