I've used MrExcel's Trick #916 to remove blanks from my listbut now I want the results to be alphabetized without rearranging the primarylist after each time I add data, the data is all single text and no numbers.
 

Excel Facts

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
.
Lets say you have your list in Col K ...

If you place this macro in the Sheet Module, it will auto-sort anything that is entered into Column K, Alphabetically from A - Z.

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error Resume Next




    If Not Intersect(Target, Range("K:K")) Is Nothing Then
        Range("K1").Sort Key1:=Range("K1"), _
        Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlYes, _
        OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, _
        Orientation:=xlTopToBottom
        Application.DisplayAlerts = True
    End If
End Sub

I may have been wrong when I said ‘YES’ because I can’t get the macro in the Sheet Module to work.
The data is from a formula I used from ‘MrExcel Trick #916 to remove blanks. FYI the final data I’m using is in column I
