Default Sort a row of strings, some containing blanks

Bruno,
We are looking at different ends of the elephant.
When KobusD gets done, the columns will be in different positions.
I call that sorting columns.

K,
For some reason known only to Microsoft and maybe not even them,
using the Orientation constants requires you to be in a different
universe...

xlLeftToRight = 2
xlTopToBottom = 1
while...
xlSortRows = 2
xlSortColumns = 1

Sorting columns, requires a constant with a value of 2.


What's wrong Jim?
KobusD wanted to sort on [B18:AY18] which is a row
not a column, then Orientation:=xlSortRows.
Why then xlSortRows and not xlSortRow?
I guess because xlSortRows is also applicable to matrices,
not only vectors.

"For some reason known only to Microsoft and maybe not even them, "
I agree with you many times it happens to be true.
But I think this is not the case.

Regards
Bruno
