Sorting numbers

B

Bogy

I'm using Office 2000, and I'm having a problem sorting numbers. For example

12
12
12
331
331
331
331
3311-
3311-
3311-

When it sorts I would like it to place the larger numbers with the dashes at the bottom so it looks like this

12
12
12
331
331
331
331
3311-
3311-
3311-
I've been beating my head off the keyboard for hours on this, it just can't be that hard, can it

You are sorting numbers and sorting text --- they dont work togethr. Change the
numbers (those without -) to text and you should get a correct sort

: 3312
: 3315
: 3314
: 3311
: 3311-1
: 3311-5
: 3311-2
