i added 007 after 015 so the order was 005,010,015,007.

when i ran the code i posted, the sheets were in this order:
005,007,010,015

so, i guess i don't see what you do or i am missing something

They will be in that order...005, 010, 015, but if the user forgot one and
added 007, as the code is now it would be 005, 010, 015, 007...I need it to
be 005, 007, 010, 015.. After the sheets are created and named the code
automatically goes to the sort sub.

in your example, 005, 010, 015, what order are they supposed to be in after
they're sorted?

I have tried Chip Pearson's sorting code but it doesn't work on my
worksheets. I think his code has to have something more than just numbers.
I
have the worksheet names formatted as follows...

mylinenum = Range("linenum")
If Range("linenum").Value < 1000 Then
mylinenum = Format(mylinenum, "000")
ElseIf Range("linenum").Value 999 Then
mylinenum = Format(mylinenum, "0000")
End If

this works fine to name the worksheets 005, 010, 015 etc. But it will not
sort the worksheets. Can this be done using numbers only for the worksheet
names after I have formatted the worksheet names this way? The following is
the sort code...

Sub SortTheSheets()

Dim N As Integer
Dim M As Integer
Dim FirstWSToSort As Integer
Dim LastWSToSort As Integer
Dim SortDescending As Boolean

SortDescending = False

If ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Count = 1 Then
FirstWSToSort = 1
LastWSToSort = Worksheets.Count
Else
With ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets
For N = 2 To .Count
If .Item(N - 1).Index < .Item(N).Index - 1 Then
MsgBox "You cannot sort non-adjacent sheets"
Exit Sub
End If
Next N
FirstWSToSort = .Item(1).Index
LastWSToSort = .Item(.Count).Index
End With
End If

For M = FirstWSToSort To LastWSToSort
For N = M To LastWSToSort
If SortDescending = True Then
If CInt(Mid(Worksheets(N).Name, 6)) _
CInt(Mid(Worksheets(M).Name, 6)) Then
Worksheets(N).Move Befo=Worksheets(M)
End If
Else
If CInt(Mid(Worksheets(N).Name, 6)) < _
CInt(Mid(Worksheets(M).Name, 6)) Then
Worksheets(N).Move Befo=Worksheets(M)
End If
End If
Next N
Next M
End Sub
