Hi,

Although the solution as provided in previous replies works, it is overcomplicated, there is a way easier and faster way to do this just compare the two text variables using <

Text1 < Text2  

Ana < Bernardo  = True

 Ana < Anabela = True

Anabela < Bernardo = True

Bernardo < Ana = False

I suggest to use only the solution with a list and sort it if you have more than 2 values to compare.

Regards,

Daniel

Hello Joana


Not 100 % sure if this is what you need but you could add your strings to a text list and sort it with the listsort
