range("p2") is the same as cells(2,"P") or cells(2,16)

ActiveSheet.Range("Print_Area").Sort Key1:=.Cells(2, "p"),

Is this what you're getting at?

Sub sortprintareaonly()
With ActiveSheet.Range("Print_Area")
.Sort Key1:=Range(P2).Cells(2, 1), Order1:=xlDescending
End With
End Sub

Perhaps a re-read of this may help you determine which column you
desire.
Since you didn't say what your "sort" column was, I was sorting by
range(a2)
cells(2,1)

My sort column is column P and I would like to activate it using
'control
Q' or some other key along with the control key.

It may do the trick.....but given the fact I know nothing about
writing
a
macro....do I need to do anything else to this to fit my
particular
sheet
or
will this do it as it is?

I would like to create a macro that will be triggered by
'control
Q'
to
sort
my data in decending order using my "sort" column. The
amount of
data
will
vary so I will need it to sort the print area only. Is this
possible?
I
have no idea where to begin. Can someone help with this?

Thanks,
Inspector
