Thanks I see the final result which is correct, except all the *
designators have been stripped, so I guess they would be better at the
end of each item in the list.

I do not understand though what you are putting in Excel and how you
manipulate it. I can not see putting three columns in Excel and then
sorting on a blank one. Does the Excel also contain all the HTML and if
so how are you sorting on just the name and ignoring the URL unless you
are also running multiple columns and concatenating them? Reply off list
if you prefer.

Once the list is generated does it still need the javascript and CSS and
if so why?
