Help with input box to select a sort up to 28
 

I am trying to use an input box so when I press the box opens and ask for the
line number via a list of the type of sort I want to do, but I am finding
that the sort does not work correctly.
Can somebody help me with my code.
Thank you
Ken

Help with input box to select a sort up to 28
 

It appears that all you are really doing is changing the sort keys
based on the user's input. Try some code like the following. Change
the SortKey ranges for each value according to what you want to do.

Sub AAA()
Dim RangeToSort As Range
Dim SortKey1 As Range
Dim SortKey2 As Range
Dim SortKey3 As Range

Dim L As Long
Set RangeToSort = Range(Selection(1, 1), _
Selection.SpecialCells(xlLastCell))
L = CLng(InputBox( _
"Enter a number between 1 and 28.", Type:=1))
Select Case L
Case 1
Set SortKey1 = Range("C4")
Set SortKey2 = Range("D4")
Set SortKey3 = Range("E4")
Case 2
Set SortKey1 = Range("K4")
Set SortKey2 = Range("L4")
Set SortKey3 = Range("M4")
'.... through Case 28

Case Else
MsgBox "Invalid input."
Exit Sub
End Select

RangeToSort.Sort key1:=SortKey1, order1:=xlAscendin, _
key2:=SortKey2, order2:=xlAscending, _
key3:=SortKey3, order3:=xlAscending, _
Header:=xlGuess
End Sub
