excel - Sort alphanumeric values -
i need sort list of part numbers alphanumerically. excel not sort them correctly though when open auto filter drop down shows them in order need.
they aren't uniform in length, contain letters, have leading zeros, maximum length of 15 characters. here list along correct sorting:
part correct sort 00863 00863 1123 02257 02257 07706 6549 10338 6834 11212 07706 1123 8001 65412sscy 8001 6549 10338 6834 11212 8001 65412sscy 8001 en93 en93 scsm11be scsm11be
hoping macro or method.
if have values formatted text , not numbers custom number formats (for leading zeroes) need choose correct sort warning option.
if opt *sort numbers , numbers stored text separately, come teh correct (as per sample) sort order.
note text default left-aligned in cell while numbers (regardless of number formatting) right-aligned default.
