Hi. I want to sort a list of values. Basically they are all taken from a 'Name' field in my db and put into a list box. Right now the sub that does this already puts them into alphabetical order. I would like to go one step further though. First off, I would like it to ignore anything other than letters and numbers. Just because someone starts their Name with a quotation mark it shouldn't be listed at the top. Also I would like it to ignore certain words. Mainly words like "The". Anyone know how to do this?
