Sorting in Excel both VBA and NON-VBA...tricky

Tags: Microsoft, Excel, 2002`, Visual Basic for Applications (VBA)
So I know how to sort by columns but here is what I am atttempting to do:

Column A has 100 rows where there are a total of 4 types of responses in that row to include:
Direct Manager Strength, DIrect Manager Opportunity, Company Strength, and Company Opportunity.

Colummn B has also 100 rows and for each one of the 4 possible types of responses, you'll find a comment (it can be anything).

What I am trying to do is sort columns A and B so that it is sorted in the order of column A by Company Strength FIRST, then by Direct Manager Strength, then by Company Opportunity, and finally by Direct Manager Opportunity.

the result should look something like this:

Company Strength - blah
Company Strength - blah
Company Strength - blah
Company Strength - blah
Direct Manager Strength - blah
Direct Manager Strength - blah
Direct Manager Strength - blah
Company Opportunity - blah
Company Opportunity - blah
Company Opportunity - blah
Company Opportunity - blah
Company Opportunity - blah
Direct Manager Opportunity - blah

Where the '-' represents the break between column A and B, and 'blah' represents whatever in column B.

I know we can sort by columns..but how about by rows. Can someone help here!! Please advise. I need this completed in the next 2 hours.
