title: Sorting A->Z, Letters Before Numbers?
body: <p>I have a task list with a DUE date column. The column has dates and blanks, and also sometimes an "ASAP". I can sort the list from Oldest to Newest, or A->Z, and the most imminent dates are placed on top and the blanks are on the bottom. This is what is intended. However, the "ASAP" tasks are placed between the dates and the blanks. I assume this is because Excel sorts numbers first and then letters.</p>
  
  <p>How can I sort the list so that the highest-priority tasks with the "ASAP" note appear at the top of the list when sorting A->Z?</p>
