sort data automatically by the last column in the table
 

I have a spreadsheet that is updated weekly by adding a two new columns of
figures.
How can I add a command button that will automatically sort by the last
column? I can record a macro to sort by the last column, but then when I add
data the last column is not the last column anymore (obviously, you may
say!). Also, occasionally when updating, a new row is added to the bottom.

sort data automatically by the last column in the table
 

Sub polly()
coll = Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
colletr = Split(Cells(1, coll).Address, "$")(1)
Columns("A:" & colletr).Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range(colletr & "2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlYes
End Sub

Here we assume that row #1 is a header row. coll will be a number
corresponding to the last occupied column. colletr will be the letter
corresponing to that last occupied column

Dim LastRow As Long
Dim LastCol As Long
With Me
'I used column A to find the last used row
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
'I used row 1 to find the last used column
LastCol = .Cells(1, .Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
Set myRngToSort = .Range("A1", .Cells(LastRow, LastCol))
End With

With myRngToSort
.Sort key1:=.Columns(.Columns.Count), order1:=xlAscending, _
header:=xlYes
End With

End Sub
