Do you mean a data validation dropdown list or something else?

yes you know the arrow and when you click on it, it shows the dropdown list? I just want to sort the content.
Again are you talking about a data validation dropdown list? If so then create a Named Range for the source range (for example MyList) with a "refers To" of something like this: =OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1, 0, 0, COUNTA(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$1001)). Then in the Data Validation set "Allow" = List and the "Source" = "=MyList".
What part of that does the "sorting", Martin?
