I've got a Table with 10 Rows and 10 Columns. Column 1 is "A" like a spreadsheet. B to J follows from left to right, like a spreadsheet.
The Rows start at the Top like a spreadsheet.
Row 1
Row 2
Row 3
Row 4 to 10 in order.
I name them
A1
A2
A3
And so forth.
BUT Row 10 sorts next to or under Row 1. I need it to sort after Row 9.
How can I make that happen? Then when I use the data in a graph, it will be in the right order.
maybe a sample spreadsheet
but it sounds like its sorting text so
A1
A10
A2
A20
A3
etc
can you add a helper column and just number them
1 , 2, 3 etc
and then that should sort ok
as they are numbers
A sample sheet would help here, and possibly will enable a quicker and more accurate solution for you.
The forum does allow for spreadsheets to be uploaded direct to the forum -
Please see the Yellow Banner at the top of the page explaining how to attach a sample spreadsheet
A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. It also has expected results mocked up, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.
Here are the instructions, found at the top of the page again
Post a small Excel sheet (not a picture) showing realistic & representative sample data WITHOUT confidential information (10-20 rows, not thousands...) and some manually calculated results. For a new thread (1st post), scroll to Manage Attachments, otherwise scroll down to GO ADVANCED, click, and then scroll down to MANAGE ATTACHMENTS and click again. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

I think you would need to separate the alpha prefix and numeric suffix into separate columns. Or put leading zeroes in the numeric part. For example, A01, A02, etc.
