Can someone give me a simple macro to sort a column?
 

Hi-
I have a whole bunch of data in several columns and I want to set up the
spreadsheet so when I click the column title it sorts the data (keeping all
the rows together still) ascending and then if I click the column title again
it sorts it descending and so on. I want to do this for every column. I
know very little about macro coding and I would really appreciate it if
someone could give me a sample one and instructions as I feel this must be
pretty simple. I tried searching on google but I can't seem to find
anything. I would really apprecriate any help anyone might be able to offer.
Thanks!

Dan,

Here is one way. Be aware though that once you enter your code this won't
allow you to change row 1 headings, so get the data set-up first


Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("A1:IV1")) Is Nothing Then
With Target
If .Characters(Len(.Value), 1).Font.Name < "Marlett" Then
.Value = .Value & " t"
.Characters(Len(.Value), 1).Font.Name = "Marlett"
End If
If Right(.Value, 1) = "t" Then
.EntireColumn.Sort key1:=.Offset(1, 0), _
order1:=xlAscending, _
header:=xlYes
.Value = Left(.Value, Len(.Value) - 1) & "u"
.Characters(Len(.Value), 1).Font.Name = "Marlett"
Else
.EntireColumn.Sort key1:=.Offset(1, 0), _
order1:=xlDescending, _
header:=xlYes
.Value = Left(.Value, Len(.Value) - 1) & "t"
.Characters(Len(.Value), 1).Font.Name = "Marlett"
End If
.Offset(1, 0).Activate
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

Thanks - that is just what I want except is there a way for the rows to stay
together? I want the data in the columns to always line up by row so I
believe I can only have it sorted by one column at a time. Is there anyway
to modify the code to get this? Thanks for your help!

Dan,

Yeah, it's pretty straight-forward

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("A1:IV1")) Is Nothing Then
With Target
If .Characters(Len(.Value), 1).Font.Name < "Marlett" Then
.Value = .Value & " t"
.Characters(Len(.Value), 1).Font.Name = "Marlett"
End If
If Right(.Value, 1) = "t" Then
Me.Cells.Sort key1:=.Offset(1, 0), _
order1:=xlAscending, _
header:=xlYes
.Value = Left(.Value, Len(.Value) - 1) & "u"
.Characters(Len(.Value), 1).Font.Name = "Marlett"
Else
Me.Cells.Sort key1:=.Offset(1, 0), _
order1:=xlDescending, _
header:=xlYes
.Value = Left(.Value, Len(.Value) - 1) & "t"
.Characters(Len(.Value), 1).Font.Name = "Marlett"
End If
.Offset(1, 0).Activate
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

It's good this isn't it, I like it myself with this modified version.
