Hi - I mostly use the sort function without issue. But I can't seem to find where I can sort the following in the order I want

High, Medium, Low - this does not follow A-Z or Z-A

Can anyone help please it must something simple that I am missing
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
If you do this In a query , make sure there is no sort in front of your High,med,low column.
Like: sort ID, LEVEL

The level: hi,med,Lo will not sort correctly.

Thanks for your reply but it just sorts High,Low, Medium then High,Low, Medium and again as I have 3 Regions Reporting - All High in Region 1, All High in Region 2 etc
