Well, in that case, you can create a custom order. This workbook contains two data lists that are both organized in alphabetical order for one column, but it doesn't make sense. On the left, you can see that I have the months for the year 2014 arranged in alphabetical order, which, of course, is not the correct order for where they fall in the year and the same thing for the seasons over in the right section. I have Fall, Spring, Summer, and Winter when, in fact, those are not in the proper order, so how do I sort using a custom list? Well, it depends on whether the custom list is built-in or whether it's one you have to make yourself. Months are, in fact, a custom list that comes with Excel, so you can just make the appropriate selections when you perform your sort. So I'll click cell B2. Actually, it's already selected, but you can click any cell in the B column in the left-hand data list, and then on the Home tab click the Sort & Filter button and click Custom Sort. In here, you can see that I have a sort level, and I'm sorting by month, which is correct, but I'm sorting on values, which is correct, A to Z, which is not. That's what gave me this nonsensical alphabetical order in the first place, so I need to click the Order list arrow and from the three items that appear, I click Custom List. Doing so displays the custom lists that are built-in to Excel or that you have added yourself. So you see here we have Sunday, Monday, Tuesday in both short and long formats, the short format for the months and the long formats for the months. So what I want to do is to click this bottom list, January, February, March, and so on, and click Ok to use that as my sorting criteria, and now when I click OK, you see that my list has been sorted into the appropriate order, so that's what you do if you're using one of the four lists that are built-in. If you want to create your own, then you need to open the Excel Preferences dialog box. To do that, hold down the Command key and type a comma. That displays the Excel Preferences dialog box. You can also display that by opening the Excel menu and clicking Preferences. But from here, look in the middle section and click Custom Lists. The Custom Lists dialog box let's you either use an existing list or create a new one, so I'll click new list and then click over in the List entries box. I want to put the seasons into the proper chronological order, so I'll type Spring, then return, Summer, return, Fall, return, Winter, and then click Add. Doing so displays the list. You see it has Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. If I want to delete a list after I've created it, then I can just click it and click Delete.
