Thanks for taking time to check on this. As per your example, I would like to see this output

Worksheet 1, has these values:
A
A
B
Worksheet 2 has these values:
C
D
F
F
G
M
Worksheet 3 has these values:
O
P
W
X



---------------------
1. as you can see from above, the total no.of elements in each worksheet remain the same. It just that they are sorted in alpabhatical order.
2. As for grouping , they would need to be grouped by first character of the string...If the first character is same, then go for second char
3.As for duplicates, If the string in one row is exactly equal to other ( from above example, F), need to have both the strings in the sorted list

Thanks

Suppose you have a workbook with three worksheets:

Worksheet 1, has these values:
W
A
D

Worksheet 2 has these values:
F
C
G
P
O
M

Worksheet 3 has these values:
X
B
A
F

Please show the grouping (which values go on which worksheet) and the order you want in the output. Please state how you want to handle duplicate values.

>So you have several worksheets.
Yes
>How many rows do you have on each input worksheet?
Can be variable...(I am trying to sort the excel spreadsheet by converting
excel to Xml and trying to
sort on the column)...So, It depends on how many rows the user creates

>How many rows do you want on each of the output worksheets?
Should be same as the input xml (# of rows inside the <worksheet><table>
node should be same as output generated xml using xsl
>Do all worksheets have the same number of rows?
No..they can be different since each worksheet can have different rows in MS
excel
>Do you want all rows output on a single worksheet?
No, I want the exact same structure as the input xml (in terms of worksheets
and rows...the only differnence would be they needed to be sorted accross
all the worksheets by one column...for this example, I assure, there is only
one column in MS excel spreadsheet)
