Excel VBA - How to sort by first two letters of cell? -


i have 2 columns want sort. want below column first sorted first 2 letters, column b.

column     -    column b ab - info         3339876 ab - data         3339877   ab - data         3339878  ac - info         3339123 ac - data         3339124 ac - info         3339125 ad - info         3339456 ad - info         3339457 ad - data         3339458 

the first 2 letters of column important , must sorted them first. information after first 2 letters of column irrelevant , not matter. more important column b # data sorted in ascending order second (after first 2 letters of column a)

sorry confusion. clears things up.

sort highlighting column , hit alt + a + sa


update:

'excel sorts alphanumeric text left right, character character', may not order numbers if combined single cell. should create column 2 letter code want use sorting using =left(a2,2) , copying way down. multilayered sort clicking sort button, sorting first on 2 digit code alphabetically , second on number column:

example
