    You could do this with a Pivot Table, or with 2 helper columns
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Thank you very much!

    I am a beginner; not sure what you mean by helper columns; could you demonstrate?

    Thank you!

    A helper column is a column that you add to include a formula to help you do stuff - they can be hidden iof needed.

    Put this in E4 and copy down...
    =IF(C4="",E3,CODE(C4))

    Then copy all of that and paste values over that same range

    Now you can sort by column E and then then by column D
