Hello,

Not that I am aware of, but you could create some VB, whereby a column is created with the colour number in then sort by this column

Hi,

assuming you are NOT talking about conditional formatting

NateO once gave me this link
http://www.utteraccess.com/forums/showflat.php?Number=1147043&fpart=2.3

this should be faster then Chip Pearsons code, you will se the difference when used on large ranges
Code:
Option Explicit

Sub sort_by_color()
'Erik Van Geit
'060625

Const col = 3

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
ThisWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="Color", RefersToR1C1:="=GET.CELL(63,!RC[" & col & "])"

    With Worksheets(1)
    .Columns(1).Insert
        With .Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(.Cells(.Rows.Count, col + 1).End(xlUp).Row, 1))
        .Formula = "=Color"
        .Resize(.Rows.Count, Columns.Count).Sort key1:=.Cells(1, 1)
        End With
    .Columns(1).Delete
    End With
    
    
ThisWorkbook.Names("Color").Delete
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub


kind regards,
Erik

EDIT: added one dot in the code
With .Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(.Cells(.Rows.Count, col + 1).End(xlUp).Row, 1))
