Is there a way to sort tabs in the worksheet? I've been manually dragging the
tabs to put them in the alphabetical order, but if someone can advise a way,
that would be great.
Thanks

Chip Pearson has a macro for sorting worksheets.

this VBA code should help you achieve what you want.

Sub SortWorksheets()

Dim N As Integer
Dim M As Integer
Dim FirstWSToSort As Integer
Dim LastWSToSort As Integer
Dim SortDescending As Boolean

SortDescending = False

If ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Count = 1 Then
FirstWSToSort = 1
LastWSToSort = Worksheets.Count
Else
With ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets
For N = 2 To .Count
If .Item(N - 1).Index < .Item(N).Index - 1 Then
MsgBox "You cannot sort non-adjacent sheets"
Exit Sub
End If
Next N
FirstWSToSort = .Item(1).Index
LastWSToSort = .Item(.Count).Index
End With
End If

For M = FirstWSToSort To LastWSToSort
For N = M To LastWSToSort
If SortDescending = True Then
If UCase(Worksheets(N).Name) UCase(Worksheets(M).Name)
Then
Worksheets(N).Move Befo=Worksheets(M)
End If
Else
If UCase(Worksheets(N).Name) < UCase(Worksheets(M).Name)
Then
Worksheets(N).Move Befo=Worksheets(M)
End If
End If
Next N
Next M

End Sub

If you're going to take verbatim code from my site, I would
appreciate a reference to the page.
