In your example "Person 1" is in cell A2. You can manually enter "1" in cell B2 and then flashfill range B2:B6. Flashfill can be done by pressing ctrl+E when cursor is in cell B3 in this example.
Then you can apply sort of range A2:B6 in ascending order by column B as shown in attached pdf file.
Hi,
Strings (letter series) are sorted as strings, that is, alphabetically. I see two solutions:
- using leading 0 in the number
Person 001, Person 002 etc
- or use just numbers (without "Person ")
Kind regards
Hans
