Yet another newbie's question: I can't figure out how to sort given code (example in attachment) by 3rd,4th,5th numbers.
Thanks for help.
(I don't know if "minus" is necessary, it was useful to explain the task.)

Extract 3/5 digits into a "helper" column ans sort on this column
e.g = MID(A3,3,3)*1
Thank you very much. What about if I'd need the minus separator to be inserted and keep text formatting? Sorry for abusing your kindness.... I'm learning Excel from scratch...
Change the MID to reflect the situation with your "-" signs
e.g using Column D
=MID(D3,4,3)*1
starting at 4th character in the text field
@Glenn,
Time for coffee I think: remember KISS ?
This array formula works on my version of Excel... It may/may not work on yours... but whatever... I'd go with John's solution...
=LEFT(INDEX($A$3:$A$13,MATCH(SMALL(MID($A$3:$A$13,3,3)+0,ROW($A$3:$A$13)-ROW($A$3)+1),MID($A$3:$A$13,3,3)+0,0)),2)&TEXT(SMALL(MID($A$3:$A$13,3,3)+0,ROW($A$3:$A$13)-ROW($A$3)+1),"000")&MID(INDEX($A$3:$A$13,MATCH(SMALL(MID($A$3:$A$13,3,3)+0,ROW($A$3:$A$13)-ROW($A$3)+1),MID($A$3:$A$13,3,3)+0,0)),6,255)+0
