Sorting by military rank

  • I’m very new to excel but wanted to give this a go. I want to sort data of people by Military Rank then by alphabetical order. The problem is across the service, multiple ranks have the same value. For example a Private and a Senior Aircraftman would be ranked the same. An example would be


    PVT John Matthews

    SAC Tim Tims

    SAC Aidan Alpha.


    the best I could sort them would be to


    PVT Johns Matthews

    SAC Aidan Alpha

    SAC Tim Tims


    when it should be


    SAC Aidan Alpha

    PVT Johns Matthews

    SAC Tim Tims


    if that makes sense.

    I have been scratching my head about this one for a while now and this is my last resort. Feedback is very much appreciated.^^
