Hello,

I am on a mac using 2011 and I am trying to sort one column by the suffix..

For example I am trying to sort domain names by .com - .net - .org..

I would like the .com's with each other and so on.

How can I do this with one column?

Thanks!

say col B4 hold the address

col B5=right(B4,3)

and then sort that column

The domain are all in one column mixed. I was looking for a way to have them sort to have all the .com's together and so on.

Just thinking out loud - I haven't tried it - but could you apply conditional formatting to change the cell colour according to the suffix and then sort by colour?
