Selection.Sort not working?
 

I'm trying to execute a simple sort on a selection in
Excel. The help file, as well as most of the online
guides I've read have suggested using:

Selection.Sort

However, even if I simplify my request to the following
lines, I still get the "application or user defined error"

Worksheets(1).Range("A27:H38").Select
Selection.sort


Anybody know what's going on here?

Thanks

You have to specify a sort key at the minimum.

Worksheets(1).Range("A27:H38").sort Key1:=Range("A27")
