How to sort rows by odd or even numbers in Excel?
It is easy for us to sort the numbers by ascending or descending order in Excel, but if I have a long list of numbers, and now I want to sort them by odds or evens. That is to say, all odd or even numbers are sorted together as following screenshots shown. Is it possible for us to sort by even or odd numbers in Excel?

2. Then drag the fill handle over to the cells that you want to contain this formula, the TRUE indicates odd numbers and FALSE indicates even numbers, see screenshot:
