Default Sorting on more then 3 columns

This is the official Microsoft recommendation. I don't think there is anything you can do that makes it faster, certainly not try
own VBA macros.

| Indeed a possibility and I did that already, but the disadvantage is

| In my app the calculations take 17 seconds and sorting takes 4 seconds

| 0 sorts 17 seconds
| 1 sort 21 seconds (columns 1-2-3)
| 2 sorts 25 seconds (columns 4-5-6 followed by 1-2-3)
| 3 sorts 29 seconds (column 7 followed by 4-5-6 and 1-2-3)
| and I might have more columns in the future, so you understand I would
| like to avoid sorting several times and would be pleased with a faster
| solution
