This solution arose from the problem of trying to sort a spreadsheet using a leading character in a document with validation because a big team was using it and I couldn't be the sorting police and I didn't want to have to add a number or "rank" feeling to the words in the cells that we sort by frequently. Sorting can be a big problem if you don't want to see things in a non-alphabetical way.
