Hello,

I have a huge list of text and I want to organize it so that it will put them in ascending order for instance

L2
Lis5555
Li777
List33333

will go

L2
Li777
Lis5555
List33333

for all of them.

Someone made me a program but it's made in VB and everytime I load a huge list it will freeze on me. :\

I've heard excel does it but I tried it and all it does is put it ascending order on some of them. Not throughout the whole list.

If you can use Excel, why not create a column whose value is =len(YOUR_COL) and then sorting by the YOUR_COL column?

How do I change the column's value?

if you use excel...you need to assign each entry a # vaule in a parrell column and sort by # instead of text.. it seemed to work better for me..

i have a php code that will do this if you have database...

Excel will do the whole list as long as there are less than 65,000 entries. You have to put them into a column, and then select all of them, though. Also, because there's text in your codes, it will sort based on alpha, not numerics, so 10 is less than 9.

Where does the list come from?

How big is "huge" ?

save the list in a mysql table. then query using a select statement
SELECT Coloum1, Coloum2
FROM table ORDER BY Coloum1 ASC
