Default Excel Macros: Sort which is not Worksheet Specific

Hi there

First let me warn you that I am not a programmer, so please go easy on
me!

Background:
Each month, I need to run a report on phone usage and put this
information into a table in a worksheet. I then run a macro which
uses vlookup to insert a column and put the name of each person next
to their phone number in the list. The last part I want to achieve
with the macro, but have been unable to, is that the table it is
sorted by the name column.

Problem:
The macro works fine when it is run in the worksheet I created it in,
but I want to copy the template worksheet so there is a new worksheet
for every month. The sort will not work on the newly copied worksheet
because the macro uses exact references to the worksheet and the
table. Is anyone able to tell me what references I should be using to
achieve what I want to achieve?

I have chunked the problem down and have created a macro which only
sorts, as below:
___________________

Sub SortNames()
'
' SortNames Macro
'

'

ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").ListObjects("T able1").Sort.SortFields.Clear

ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").ListObjects("T able1").Sort.SortFields.Add
_
Key:=Range("Table1[[#All],[Name]]"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues,
Order:= _
xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
With
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").ListObjects("T able1").Sort
.Header = xlYes
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With
End Sub
___________________

Thanks very much!
Sarah
