Thanks to everybody for your suggestions. I've tested them all now,
Jacque's customSort and Jim's filter method take very similar times
but the quickest is Trevor's suggestion of making an extra hidden
column with the rating as a number so it can be sorted directly.

Thanks again for all your creative & generous ideas,
Sarah
