Sorting

Hey guys, here's one

I need to sort the following sheet by coulmn B which is a Alpha Coulmn. However not in this sheet but in the real sheet these values come from another sheet so they are basically links.. Can you sort by links or do I have to convert to values before? if so how do you convert to values?

the sheet is at ftp://24.9.236.152/pub/help.xls
Please don't update references when you open cos the files arn't there :-D


thanx

-Lewis

I think I usually run into problems when I try to sort a column of links.

The easiest way to sort would be to copy column B to column I, pasting values (Edit>Paste Special>Values), include column I in your sort range, and sort by column I.
