You should be able to translate it easy enough.
Or ask in one the Excel Interop/SDK news groups.

Thanks for the Info Gary. But I need to use C++ and not VBA, since I am
running this via an MFC app.

I want to arrange the worksheets in a Excel worbook in alphabetical
order. I read the worksheet names into a list and sort it. When I try
to rearrange I am having problems. I get a run-time error "Move method
of worksheet class failed"

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sunil

Code snippet:

long int numSheets;
CWorksheets Sheets;
CWorksheet wSheet;
Sheets = oBook.get_Worksheets( );
numSheets = Sheets.get_Count( );

for ( int i=1;i<=numSheets;i++ )
{
wSheet = Sheets.get_Item( COleVariant( (short)(i) ) );
wSheet.Activate( );
tmpName = wSheet.get_Name();
//AfxMessageBox( tmpName.c_str() );
if ( ( tmpName != "VE_Dump" ) && ( tmpName != "Summary"
) )
sheetNames.push_back( tmpName );
}

sheetNames.sort( );
//trial to see it it works
wSheet = Sheets.get_Item( COleVariant( (short)(1) ) );
wSheet.Move( COleVariant( (short)(3) ), covOptional );
