SQL select statement help

  #1  
Apr 25th, 2006
Hi,
I have column with alphanumberic fields like:
trader1.dbpt
1234.mcxl
abc243.cexl
234-lab.cxcl
There are following characteristics of this data:
-fifth last place is always decimal
-always four characters after the decimal
What I want:
-only those rows which have ".mcxl" at the end
-rows should NOT have numbers in them
-rows should not have "-" in them
-want to sort according to the length, shortest should come first
Please guide how to accomplish all this on MS Access in SQL statement

thanks for the help,
Silverspring
