Default Sorting a-z | z-a ... removing pop-up "Sort Warning"

Dave --

Hey, thanks. I'm not new to Macro's in Word, but have trouble in excel... I
appreciate the link to try and help me with that.

And, I do see how in Macros and such it could be quite a different
situation, and that makes a lot more sense.

Anyway -- thanks a lot.

The bad thing is lots of people don't notice that the data is messed up until
after the undo is cleared (like after a save).

You could have a macro that sorts your data based on the activecell. I'd put a
button on the worksheet and assign it this code:

Option Explicit
Sub testme()

Dim myRng As Range
Dim myCol As Long

myCol = ActiveCell.Column

With ActiveSheet
Set myRng = .Range(.Cells(1, myCol), _
.Cells(.Rows.Count, myCol).End(xlUp))
End With

myRng.Sort key1:=myRng.Cells(1), order1:=xlAscending, header:=xlYes

End Sub

I guessed on the starting row (1) and whether you had headers (I guessed Yes).
But you could change that to what you want.

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:

Actually, not really. But, I can understand how many folks would like that
-- just a personal preference, I suppose. Not better, not worse, just
different. And I suppose I can see how folks could mess up their data with a
sort, but usually nothing a good ol' ctrl-z can't fix.

But, I do appreciate hearing other people's viewpoints... I'm just big on
being able to configure things, and that little window is frustrating to me.
[with the disability I have, every move of the mouse, every slight of the
hand, anything even that small makes me feel like a ... hmmm, well, I'll save
the graphics, and just say it's extremely painful. So, I like to keep my
movement to a minimum. And so that's why I was hoping there was a way to 86
the pop-up.

Well, although not the fix I was hoping for, I appreciate the info -- that
does help.
Thanks.

That would be like removing the save changes warning upon closing a workbook
with changes made. Don't you like to be prompted for things like that???

When I have, for examples, several columns of data, and I highlight one
column and click to sort that one column, I Always get a pop-up window
with
the title 'Sort Warning' that asks me if I really meant to do that, or if
I
wanted to include the other text nearby.

Is there any way to remove that pop-up? I've yet to ever use it and I'd
rather not have to keep closing it if possible.

Any help that you can provide would be great.

Thanks.
Matt
