Assume objExcel.Column is a reference to the column you want:

Set objRange = objExcel.Range(Chr(64+objExcel.column())&"4",
Chr(64+objExcel.column())&row )
objRange.Sort objRange(1),,,,,,,1


another

With Cells(4,ObjExcel.Column)
.Resize(row-1,1).Sort .Item(1),,,,,,,1
End With

bob, thanks for the quick reply but it doesn't work ;)

it's not selecting my range - the objExcel.column() breaks it - my
'Chr(64+column)' generates the column by letter (i know that I have less
than
26 columns) and adding the "4" makes reach column that I wish to sort
start
at row 4.

Not tested, but try

Set objRange = objExcel.Range(Chr(64+objExcel.column())&"4",
Chr(64+objExcel.column())&row ).Select
Set objRange2 = objExcel.Range(Chr(64+objExcel.column())&"4")
objRange.Sort objRange2,,,,,,,1

I'm having trouble with Excel sorting in a VBScript. I have a number
of
cells containing data, starting at row 4. I'm trying to sort each
column
from row 4 through to the end using the following code:

Set objRange = objExcel.Range(Chr(64+column)+"4",
Chr(64+column)&row ).Select
Set objRange2 = objExcel.Range(Chr(64+column)+"4")
objRange.Sort objRange2,,,,,,,1

objRange is my range, objRange2 is the first cell of the column I wish
to
sort.

I also tried:

objRange.Sort objRange,,,,,,,1

The sort method does not work in VBScript, nor do a large number of
variations of it! I know from a lot of reading that some Excel
functionality
isn't exposed too well in VBScript...

However, the following works for the entire column, using a header
row:

Set objRange = objExcel.ActiveCell.EntireColumn
objRange.Sort objRange,,,,,,,1

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
