in another column enter helper formula like:
=ABS(A1)
copied down, where A1 contains first number in your original list.
Then Sort first by the formula column, then by the original column.
Where there is a will there are many ways.

Please also mark the thread as Solved once it is solved. Check the FAQ's to see how.
If your positives and negatives are in A2 down then perhaps use a blank column with this formula in row 2
=ABS(A2)
Now select all data including the new column and sort by the new column
Audere est facere
Try using a helper column then sort on that
With your data in A2 down
In B2
Sort by Column B Ascending and by Column A Descending
=ABS(A2)
If you need any more information, please feel free to ask.

What's the logic in 5's appearing before 3's?

Never use Merged Cells in Excel
Thank you all I appreciate it a lot. Their is no logic in the 5's coming before the 3's I was just trying to make an example. But again thank you very much for helping me out
Fair enough. Always useful if the example represents what you actually want

Yeah I understand, I guess I was just in a hurry and those numbers are the first that came into mind. Thank you though I appreciate it
