    Sort a column (specifically email data) by end of text, not beginn

    One of my files contains a field of Emails. I want to sort it by the ISP, not
    the beginning of the text. so if an email is none@aol.com, I want to sort it
    so I can view all the @aol.com,@hotmail.com, etc. -- the only way I know how
    to sort is by Ascending/descending and it sorts by the beginning of the text.
    Thanks!

    Create a 'helper column' in which you tease out the ISP. Ex: if the email
    address is in A2, enter =RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)-FIND("@",A2)) in B2 to calculate
    just the ISP. Autofill that formula to each row, then sort based on the new
    column.

    I can not get it to auto fill. I put the code in and wanted to drag and drop
    for the remaning fields, but will not copy to the next number. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Assuming that Column A contains your data, enter the following formula
    in B1 and copy down:

    =RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("@",A1))

    Then, select Column A and Column B, and sort by Column B.

    Hope this helps!

    Use a helper column to extract the ISP. If email names are in A1 enter
    in B1

    =RIGHT(A12,LEN(A12)-FIND("@",A12))
    copy down as appropriate then sort on column B
