Hi,

Is there a way to modify the way Excel sorts cells? This "A to Z" or "Z to A" algorithm is faulty as hell and apparently hasn't been updated since the dawn of time. It constantly sorts words in many languages in a horribly wrong order. Is it possible to create custom sorting routines?

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
