Hi Bob!

I think the problem was that I didn't make a change to the Heading
setting when I recorded the sort. If I had, then the setting would
have been recorded. The other was possibly that I was using several
sorting routines. It was difficult to track why and when it guessed
wrong although I now suspect it was because I had data in the next but
one row above.

Hi Norman,

Can't say I have experienced this problem myself. I rarely leave a
recorded
macro as it is, I usually change it, that being one of the obvious
changes,
making the range dynamic being another, but xlGuess has not caused
me
problems that I recall.

That being said, I would agree with you that as selecting the Header
option
in the Sort dialog sets this to xlYes, changing it to xlNo is a wise
move. I
wonder why there is such an option? I could understand allowing one
to
manually code that option, but when you use the dialog you have to
specify
one or the other. Just MS I guess.

Hi Bob!

A minor point that can cause wailing and gnashing of teeth. I
played
with auto recording sorting the other day and wasn't impressed.

The line that caused the problem was:

Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("C5"), Order1:=xlAscending,
Header:=xlGuess, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal

I got variable results from sorting (I had quite a few different
sorts) caused by the xlGuess.

As usual with recording it is necessary to look through the code
and
in this case the approach necessary was to change xlGuess to xlNo.
If
the data does include the headings then xlYes is needed.

Jim my,

As it seems a static sort, just record a macro to do it
(ToolsMacroRecord
Macro)

Hi, everyone

I daily used Excel 97 to sort the data by ascending from
A5:Z99 by
J5
(Delivery Date), how to write this code.

Thanks
