Let say I have

 

1.1.2
1.1.2.10
1.1.2.1
1.1.2.11
1.1.2.2
1.1.2.3
1.1.2.4
1.1.2.5
1.1.2.6
1.1.2.7
1.1.3
1.1.4
1.1.4.1

 

How can I sort the output result like this?

 

1.1.2
1.1.2.1
1.1.2.2
1.1.2.3
1.1.2.4
1.1.2.5
1.1.2.6

Hi, can you try this?

Thx for the solution, But if the format is dynamic and may get more than ten dot, is there a smart way to sort them?

Hey @EricYiu 

 

This might work for you...

 

Essentially you need to split out the value into rows, pad the out with zero's (i did 5 but you can choose as many as you want) then concatenate it all back together, which will then give you the ability to sort.
