Default Automatic sorting in Excel?

I would like to be able to have a column sorted alphabetically contiuously.
In other words, whenever data is entered, the whole column gets arranged
alphabetically without having to "click' on the sort function.

Thanks.

You can start with this, adapt as needed:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)


Columns("B:B").Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("B1"), Order1:=xlAscending

End Sub

Thanks for your promtp reply,

unfortunately, eventhough I feel fairly comfortable with many excel
functions, I am not a power user of excel and need a little bit more
guidance...

thanks.

Gosral -- John is recommending you post his code into
The specific Sheet module that houses your data;
If sheet1, then within the code module of sheet1
