To sort the list of numbers by odds or evens, you need to create a helper column to identify the odd or even numbers, and then apply the Sort function.
1. Next to the numbers, please enter this formula =ISODD(A2) in a blank cell, see screenshot:
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:
3. Then you can sort the column B that you are created by clicking Data > Sort Smallest to Largest or Sort Largest to Smallest as you want.
