Strange, not here. Sort works as it should. Sure would like to hear your fix, or what causes it.

In a descending sort, it see 2 as greater than 19, and 99,000 as greater than 8,754,967. Rashid - What you are describing is an ascii sort instead of a numeric sort. If there are any characters in the input columns that aren't numbers - for example spaces - then the spreadsheet treats the parameter as text instead of a number. If you make sure that everything between the commas in the input list is a number, then it should treat the field as numeric, and sort it as you expect. Gary
