Weird(?) Sort Order
May 30, 2008
I have a client with a list of books, and they are trying to sort a column in a sheet that has LC classification codes. When just doing a normal A-Z sort, it looks like this:
RJ 41 .D53 F54 2005
RJ 416 .L4 C52 1999
RJ 420 .D5T97 2003
RJ 421 .H385 2006
RJ 426 .H43 P43 2005
RJ 431 .M37 2003
RJ 436 .A8 R33 2006
RJ 436 .A8 T498 2001
RJ 436 .A8 T87 2003
RJ 45 .N4 2000
RJ 45 .N418 2006
RJ 45 .R92 1998
RJ 47 .E39 2001
RJ 48 .H37 2000
RJ 48 .H37 2002
RJ 48.2 .C537 2004
RJ 48.2 .P347 2005
RJ 48.2 .P385 2005
RJ 48.2 .R93 2003
RJ 480 .P34 2005
RJ 482 .R48 L448 2004
RJ 486 .C45 2000
What is weird about it is that I would think that the numbers after the RJ would be in numeric order but it seems to be treating them as codes. So, instead of RJ 41, then RJ 45, it goes on with a series of things that start with RJ 41. Is it normal for this to happen, or is there a way to change it so that it goes 41, 45, 47, 48, then 416, 420, etc.

Is it possible to make excel sort ascending or descending but from mid way through alphabet and then loop through the alphabet again. for example. If Cell A1 had "A" in, it would sort as normal.
Cell A1 = A
Cell A2 = B
Cell A3 = C
Cell A4 = D
Cell A5 = E
If Cell A1 had "C" in, it would sort from "C" through the alphabet and then loop to the start of the alphabet as shown below.
Cell A1 = C
Cell A2 = D
Cell A3 = E
Cell A4 = A
Cell A5 = B

I have a list of data with headings number,name, surname,group. Data needs to be kept in the rows as they are now but I would like to sort the order by group. The group order needs to be:
sm, u17m, u15b, u13b, u11b, sw, u17w, u15g, u13g, u11g. I would like to do this using vba and have a blank row between each group.

I'm sure this has been asked many times before, but I can't seem to find an answer that works for my data. I have some data that is sorted by an ordered list (like a table of contents from an overly detailed book):
1.0
1.1
1.2
1.2.1
1.3
...
1.11
...
This list can be arbitrarily deep (although probably not more than ##.##.##.##), and because I'm using periods to separate the nested levels (can be changed), I've formatted it as text. This means when I sort the data using this column I get 1.11 before 1.2 (text sort order).
After lots of failed formula attempts I've resorted to using an additional column with hand-entered values to sort by so it will sort correctly:
1.00.00
1.01.00
1.02.00
1.02.01
etc
but I'm hoping someone knows a more elegant way to do this, or at least to generate this column without typing so many zeroes!

I feel I've searched thoroughly and wasn't able to find the right answer. I've attached a daily report example that needs the "Product" field to be sorted in a particular order. The order should be JEX, Q3791J, YOO5, KLX9, GHT (all similar products need to be grouped together).
Since the report is run daily the number of rows changes daily: one day can have 50 entries and the next 10. Is there a way to dictate the sort order and insert a blank row between each product grouping?
Once the Products have been separated into their groups, how would I sort each grouping by the "Term" column?

I have imported data and numbers from a website and would like to sort the data in numerical order. Excel wants to sort the data 1,10,2,20... in that order. I know from past experience with an older version there was a way to convert the numbers so they can be sorted in the way that I want.

I have 2 listbox (List1 and List2). List2 get populated when the user select a value in List1 and based on the value selected in List1. My issues are:
1- Values in list2 are not sorted in ascending order especially when the list2 grows over 32.
2- When the user selects "None" in List1, it should clear List2 (onclick)
I worked on this code for a while with no luck trying to get it to work. Is that doable?
VB:
Option Explicit
Dim ufEventsDisabled As Boolean
Function SelectedString() As String
Const Delimiter As String = ","
Dim i As Long
[Code] .....

Don't know if macro is better, but I would like to try it with function
I have 2 sheets.
Sheet 1
Column A: Name
Column B: Points
Exemple:
Name Points
Mary 40
Johnny 20
Erick 60
Ralph 30
I want Sheet 2 to get data from Sheet 1 and sort by descending order automatically.
Then it should be
Sheet 2
Name Points
Erick 60
Mary 40
Ralph 30
Johnny 20
I don't want to do it manually every time I change some value; I want it to do automatically; so if I change, for example, Erick's points from 60 to 10 in Sheet 1, Erick should appear on the last place in Sheet 2, with his new value (10)

I have to sort data on 3 criteria
The data is:....
At this time I sort by HOURS then Seniority so the sort would look like this:........
Here is the problem, RN HILLER and JA DOE have the same hours and seniority. It is our policy that when 2 or more names and seniority match, they must be sorted by reverse order first letter of last name.
So this would be correct. H in Hiller comes before D in doe when reverse sorting.....

I have the below code that sorts a list of Doors that I have in row C17 downwards. Door 54, Door 7, Door 109 etc. The list is feeding a drop down box, people find the door they were looking for, in the said drop down box.
Code:
Sub ListSorter()
Dim LastRow As Long
LastRow = Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).row
[Code]....
I wondered if there was some code I could add to the end of this, that would the sort worksheets, which are all named after each cell in the list, in the same order.

I'm using a table with columns from A to F and an unlimited number of rows. Note that there is a title at the top of each column.
-I'd like my datas in column F to be automatically sorted in descending order from top to bottom when I hit the enter key or when the number is entered in last column (column F).
-the the entire row of data needs to be sorted according to the sorting criteria of column F ( datas entered need to stay on the same row)
-the macro should validate that the number value entered in column F is the same as the number value entered in column A. (to make sure that there was no typing mistake)
-Result in column D must be the difference between the corresponding value in column B and C (B-C=D)
*The next couple of constraints are not absolutely required, i'd like to have them only if it's possible to add constraints with filling color:
-Whenever there is no value entered in column C on a specific row I'd like the entire row to be colored in yellow (fill color)
-IF a number is entered in column C, and that the result of B-C in column D is not equal to zero, I'd like this specific row to be filled in Red.
-when all the values are entered in a row from column A to F and that the result of B minus C is equal to Zero in column D, i'd like this specific row to be filled in a green color.
***in other words, the datas in each rows from column A to F will be entered on 2 occasions; on the first time, only the datas in column A,B and F will be entered (so basically after entering this set of values the row should be filled in yellow. the second time, the remaining values will be added to the rows, so at this time A,B,C,D,E and F will all be entered. when this is done there will be two options
1-the value in column D is equal to Zero then the entire row should be filled in green or
2-the value in column D is'nt equal to zero, then this specific row should be filled in red.
Keep in mind that the datas of a row should be automatically sorted only when the value in column F is entered or when the enter key is hitted to add a new row.

I am trying to create custom sort list. It works below when I define range as A1:A79.
Sub SortWS2()
Dim SortOrder As Variant
Dim sheetsorder As Range
Dim Ndx As Long
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
With Worksheets("Sort Order").Range("A1:A79")
For Ndx = .Cells.Count To 1 Step -1
Worksheets(.Cells(Ndx).Value).Move before:=Worksheets(1)
Next Ndx
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
I have created a dynamic range called sheetsorder. If I revise my code it does not work.

I am trying to do 2 things.
1) I want to make a drop down box with 3 differnent sort orders options in it.
- Sort by date
- Sort by Customer
- Sort by priority level
Once they select a view, it will then sort the rows to that view.
2) I want to do a filter box, so if I type a cutomers name, it will filter to only show the rows related ot that customer.

I am trying to sort worksheets in excel by numerical order. I have renamed each worksheet with a different zipcode that corresponds to data on that sheet.
I believe there might be two ways to do this,
1) by sorting numerically the worksheet names.
2) by perhaps referencing a cell on each worksheet (i.e. the zipcode) and sorting it that way.

Is it possible to do a custom sort on a column so that I can change the order the way the months are sorted. The order I'm looking for is:
October
November
December
January
February
March
April
May
June
July
August
September
Also the format for the cells in that column is 01-Jan, I don't want to see the year because I enter and sort the date as if the year doesn't matter so it automatically registers as 2014, if that makes sense. Basically I want that order of the months regardless of the year.

Is there a way to read the sort order of pivot fields or is it write only?
I already know how to sort a field, I want to be able to read the ascending descending property of a field so I can reproduce it later.
Like
?Sheets(SH1).PivotTables(g).DataFields(h).SortOrder
or
?Sheets(SH1).PivotTables(g).DataFields(h).Autosort.Order
expecting a Ascending, Descending
0r 0, 1, etc

Im am looking for a way of automatically sorting the data I have in column "C" (C2:C99 to be exact).
The data represents stock codes which are a mix of text and numbers, starting with 1 letter followed by numbers.
I would prefer something I can put in the sheet tab view code section, so that when any new data is added or altered it automatically sorts the stock codes in to alphabetical then numerical order
EG:
A10
A11
B13
B15
etc....

I found the code below on the Microsoft website and it works except it didn't treat the worksheet tabs as numbers so the sort is 1, 10, 100, 101 etc.
How can I get it to treat the worksheet values like numbers and sort accordingly?.
Code:
Sub Sort_Active_Book()
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
Dim iAnswer As VbMsgBoxResult
'
' Prompt the user as which direction they wish to
' sort the worksheets.
'
[Code]....
' If the answer is No, then sort in descending order.
'
ElseIf iAnswer = vbNo Then
If UCase$(Sheets(j).Name) < UCase$(Sheets(j + 1).Name) Then
Sheets(j).Move After:=Sheets(j + 1)
End If
End If
Next j
Next i
End Sub
