Moving columns order
Hi..., I want to move the order of my columns, do you know a more efficient
way besides doing: Cells.Find(What:="abc").EntireColumn.Cut Range("A1").Offset(0, 8).EntireColumn.Insert Shift:=xlToRight probably something like moving column 6 before 3... thanks, -- Thank you... |

There is also a manual method that's not too time consuming if you only have
to do the column sort once or twice. Temporarily add a row that will be the index for sorting your columns. For example: Col 1 Col 2 Col 3 Col 4 Col 5 apple pear orange grape kiwi joe jim jan fred sheila 3 5 2 1 4 <---- This will be the sort index Then select the columns you want to sort, and select "Data/Sort..." from the menu. Under "Options..." select "Sort left to right". Then select the inserted row to sort by. The example will look like: Col 4 Col 3 Col 1 Col 5 Col 2 grape orange apple kiwi pear fred jan joe sheila jim 1 2 3 4 5 You can then delete the index row. HTH, Eric |

that's a good idea.., I guess i can make that part of my macro, just
wondering which one is more slick/efficient, cutting - inserting or adding a row with order number and then have the macro sort left to right columns. -- Thank you...
