Connie, The only change that I have made was installing Persian Experimental Standard for my Text Services and Input Languages. (I don't think this matter affects sorting!!!) I'm using Microsoft Windows Server 2003/Office 2003. So, the only remained difference is windows versions. BTW: I don't have problems with Persian YEH on this platform!

However, I can't reproduce it on a WinXP/Office 2003. I only get Arabic sorting, even with "farsi." Did you make some "global" changes in the control panel/regional options? -Connie On Tue, 13 Jan 2004, Sina Ghazi wrote: > Dear Connie, > I saw the difference between Arabic and Persian sort for last three > characters in my MS Excel and MS Word. > > By changing the sort order to "Farsi" this issue will be solved. > > Cheers, > ~Sina > > >Thanks for replying.
