Need a program that sorts a text list by number of characters in ascending order....

Hello,

I have a huge list of text and I want to organize it so that it will put them in ascending order for instance

L2
Lis5555
Li777
List33333

will go

L2
Li777
Lis5555
List33333

for all of them.

Someone made me a program but it's made in VB and everytime I load a huge list it will freeze on me. :\

I've heard excel does it but I tried it and all it does is put it ascending order on some of them. Not throughout the whole list.

 

I see plenty of guests but no members!

 

in excel, creat a column which is the string length of the strings, and then sort by string length. i leave it to you to look in the help file for the formula.

 

I can probably do this if you give me more info.

Where is the text stored? Inside a regular .txt file? Something else?
