Wow....to begin with, I'm no where near a guru with Excel...

Okay, here we go...so I have a lot of rows of data, like nearly 7,000 that I need to sort.

The way I need to sort it is from left to right. For instance:

004444-61
012-06002-301
012-06004-301
012-06005
02010999-202
02892
031118-24
10015767-054
10560G
1081-170
1473342PC79
149D1100
1SD10-P-6SM917
M13516/7−4
M62217/1−32−2.0
LC34EN2/D02
LH89/1

What I have noticed with the data I need to sort...is that the periods and backslashes only appear when there are strings that start with letters.

Help on sorting nearly 7k of rows by one column of this mixed data is greatly appreciated.
