    Need to sort a list alphabetically ignoring blanks

    I have a list of text names that are unordered alphabetically, the list also contains blanks, I need a formula that will sort the list alphabetically and discard the blanks.

    Many thanks in advance

    Add a Helper column with this formula.

    =IF(A1="",2,1)

    Sort by Helper column then by column A

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    Is there a formula that can produce this list without using the sort function on excel?
