You need to do two sorts. First sort on the least significant
columns (typically the right-most columns) then sort on the most
significant columns (typically the left-most columns).

I know I have seen a similar question, but I did a search for
"Sorting
Multiple Criteria" and did not find what I am looking for.

Is there a way to use VBA to sort by more than three criteria?

Specifically four criteria...

Example: The Header row is row 2

Selection.Sort _
Key1:=Range("E2"), Order1:=xlAscending, _
Key2:=Range("H2"), Order2:=xlAscending, _
Key3:=Range("B2"), Order3:=xlAscending, _
Header:=xlNo, OrderCustom:=1, _
MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom

What the operators would like is

Selection.Sort _
Key1:=Range("A2"), Order1:=xlAscending, _
Key2:=Range("E2"), Order2:=xlAscending, _
Key3:=Range("H2"), Order3:=xlAscending, _
Key4:=Range("B2"), Order3:=xlAscending, _
Header:=xlNo, OrderCustom:=1, _
MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom

but this creates errors
