I have a list of items in a column (3-44) that I want to list alphabetically. I could enter them by hand but I figure in the future I'll have data that i'll need to organize alphabetically in columns. Does anyone have a suggested approach?
ex:
Rotor
Brake Pad
Seal
Block
Cap

Then I want to it to be organized automatically to be:
Block
Brake
Cap
Rotor
Seal
Thank you for any pointers!

Your unsorted data are in B2
In A2 drag down
=IF(B3="","",COUNTIF($B$3:$B$44,"<="&B3))

In C2 drag down:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(ROW()-ROW($A$2),$A$3:$B$44,2,FALSE),"")
