Hi, I would appreciate any help on how to write some code to sort groups of cells I have into numerical order. The cells are grouped like this:

[TABLE="class: outer_border, width: 200"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[TD="align: center"]A[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]B[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]1[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]15[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]16[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]2[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]green[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]3[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]triangle[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]4[/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]5[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]11[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]12[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]6[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]blue[/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]7[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]square[/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]8[/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]9[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]20[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]21[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]10[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]yellow[/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]11[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]diamond[/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]12[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]13[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]7[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]8[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]14[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]red[/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]15[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]circle[/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]


The numbers are start and end times so I would like to sort the cells by the first number in each group (cells A1, A5, A9, A13 in my example) so the result should be this:

[TABLE="class: outer_border, width: 200"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD="align: center"]A[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]B[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]1[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]7[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]8[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]2[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]red[/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]3[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]circle[/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[/TR]

[TD]4[/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]

I'm new to coding so really not sure the best way of doing it. The groups of cells are all named ranges if that makes it simpler? Many thanks!

How to show all formulas in Excel?
Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
It can be with a formula and ordering the table.
For example, create an Auxiliary column and write the formula in C2 as shown in the following example, then copy down.


Book1
ABC
1DATA 1DATA 2AUX
2151615
3green15
4triangle15

1320
14787
15red7
16circle7

C2=IF(ISNUMBER(A2),A2,C1)


Now sort the table by the auxiliary column from lowest to highest
