Sort Data by colored cell.

[Haroon Khan]

Hi mrexcel forum.
I registered here by googling only to solve my problem. If this problem is solve than my task would be much much easier.
I have data on two column till 600 rows. first 300 is grayed and 2nd 300 is white. I want some kind of conditional formatting or filter or rule or anything to sort data in as first row is grayed then 2nd is white, and this sequence is going on to the end. if you don't understand what I m saying as english is not my 1st language then I m upload 2 screenshots for example, data on pic 1, and I need data in the sequence like in pic to.
(the answer to this is very urgent pls)

Hi Haroon

If you only want to do this once, and the data is exactly 300 grey rows then 300 white rows, then this approach should work.

Insert a new column to the left of your data.

In the first greyed row put 1 in column A
in the next greyed row put 3
Highlight both cells, and drag down all 300 rows - you should see 3,5,7 etc. all the way to 299
In the first white row put 2 in column A
In the next row put 4
Highlight both cells, and drag down all 300 rows - you should see 2.4.6 all the way to 300
Highlight all 600 rows and sort on clumn A
Finally, delete column A

Change colours to suit !!

[COLOR="Navy"]Sub[/COLOR] MG06Mar30
[COLOR="Navy"]Dim[/COLOR] Ray1 [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] Variant, Ray2 [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] Variant, n [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Long,[/COLOR] c [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Long[/COLOR]
Ray1 = Range("C3").Resize(300, 2)
Ray2 = Range("C303").Resize(300, 2)
 c = 2
 [COLOR="Navy"]For[/COLOR] n = 1 To UBound(Ray1, 1)
    c = c + 1
    Cells(c, "C") = Ray1(n, 1)
    Cells(c, "D") = Ray1(n, 2)
    Cells(c, "C").Resize(, 2).Interior.Color = vbYellow
    c = c + 1
    Cells(c, "C") = Ray2(n, 1)
    Cells(c, "D") = Ray2(n, 2)
    Cells(c, "C").Resize(, 2).Interior.Color = vbWhite

[COLOR="Navy"]Next[/COLOR] n
[COLOR="Navy"]End[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Sub[/COLOR]
