i would like to sort a table of x- and y-coordinates so that it's sum-of-squares matches another like-table's sum-of-squares.
 

Excel Facts

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
do you already have columns which work out the sum of the squares or do you want this as part of the resulting formula ?

so if you other like table looks something like :

225 (rank = 4th)
330 (rank = 2nd)
290 (rank = 3rd)
355 (rank = 1st)
199 (rank = 5th)

You want the first table where the value is 225 to be sorted so it's 4th, and the value of 355 to be sorted so it's 1st - totally based on the rank of position in the other table ?

sorry for the questions, just making sure I try to give you a right way of doing it
