in reply to Re^3: Data with Letter(s) & Number sort query
in thread Data with Letter(s) & Number sort query

That is very useful but not quite what I wanted.
In your output, the primary sort are the numbers and the secondary are the letters.
I wanted it the other way around. Therefore all the data with A or a at the front would come before the data with B and so on. Therefore it would be (to start)
A130 a130 A250 A250 A1180 B1105 b1255 B2480 etc

    Perhaps now would be a good opportunity for you to spend a little time understanding the code samples within this thread so that you could make the (minor) changes necessary to produce the specific sorting which you require.

    Hint 1: sort

    Hint 2: FAQ: How do I sort an array by (anything)?

    Hint 3: the only thing you need to change to my earlier script is the code line with the sort. The new code line should have exactly the same characters, but not quite in the same order.
