Default Sort on 3 keys

You are sorting a single row. To the best of my knowledge multiple keys

Not what I wanted to do. Thanks,

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

You need an orientation constant with a value of 2.
Also, blanks sort to the bottom/right so sorting A1:Q1 is going
to jam those three cells all the way to left if the other cells are blank.
Note: "With ActiveSheet" is inoperative (no dots).
See how this works for you...

Sub SortDivDept()
'sorts by Division, Department & Status
Dim Rng As Range

Set Rng = ActiveSheet.Range("O1:Q1")
Rng.Sort key1:=Rng, Orientation:=xlLeftToRight, MatchCase:=False
End Sub

Sub SortDivDept()

End Sub
