Default Sorting with a macro?

I want to automate a sorting process for a spreadsheet that I have. On
this sheet, I have various groups of names that I want to sort
alphabetically within each group. For example, cells A1:A10 should be
sorte a-z, cells A11:A20 sorted a-z, etc.

I will be updating this list from time to time with more names, and
I'll need to resort it each time. There are 10 groups of names that I
want sorted, and it's very tedious to select 10 different sets of cells
and then tell it how to sort 10 different times.

I've created a macro to do this, which works great. My problem is that
if I allow 15 cells for each set of names (so, 15 names) and 6 months
from now I need to add two rows because I have 17 names in a particular
category, the macro I've created won't sort properly, because it's only
expecting a range of 15 cells.

Is there a way to make a sort function that will take into account a
change in the number of cells in a group?

(I hope you can understand this from my description)
