If I have values in cell A2=2,4,8,6,12,19,18,23,35,78,101,38,30,205,2 And I want to sort by smallest to largest or largest to smallest in cell B2. then my desired result should be =2,2,4,6,8,12,19,18,23,30,35,38,78,101,101,205 or,Large to small= 205,101,101,78,38,35,30,23,18,19,12,8,6,4,2,2 if I have textvaluse like in A3= WPN/01,AFF/02,PROP/4,ENG/03 Then I want to sort alphabetically my desired result should be in cell B3=AFF/02,ENG/03,PROP/4,WPN/1 sheet is attached

Following function will work for numbers, text and alphanumeric (numbers and text both) strings. Default srtCriteria is set to 0. So, if it is 0 or not mentioned the array will be sorted ascending, else if srtCriteria = 1 then descending.

Function SortArr(myString As String, deLmt As String, Optional srtCriteria = 0)
'myString is deLmt seperated string
'srtCriteria is criteria to sort; 0 or nothing for Ascending, Other digit for descending.
Dim Lb As Long, Ub As Long, i As Long, j As Long
Dim arr, reverseArray
Dim strTemp As String

arr = Split(Trim(myString), deLmt)
Lb = LBound(arr)
Ub = UBound(arr)
For i = Lb To Ub - 1
    For j = i + 1 To Ub
        If IsNumeric(arr(i)) = True And IsNumeric(arr(j)) = True Then
            If Val(arr(i)) > Val(arr(j)) Then
            strTemp = arr(i)
            arr(i) = arr(j)
            arr(j) = strTemp
            End If
        Else
            If (arr(i)) > (arr(j)) Then
            strTemp = arr(i)
            arr(i) = arr(j)
            arr(j) = strTemp
            End If
        End If
    Next j
Next i

If srtCriteria = 0 Then
    SortArr = Join(arr, deLmt)
    Else
    ReDim reverseArray(Ub)
        For i = 0 To Ub
            reverseArray(i) = arr(Ub - i)
        Next
    SortArr = Join(reverseArray, deLmt)
End If

End Function

Milan your doubt is valid.. If a string contains text and numbers it will work in absurd manner for numbers. So editing my answer.. MIX function gives better result.
Ok Great Sir It worked well.Thanks so much
Sir If I want to sort by large to small , then where edit in the formula
edited my answer to reverse the sort.
I am student myself... There are many gurus on this platform whom we can follow.
