I need to create a running chart that will plot the production rate and
associated dates of four employees. I have seen examples of macros to
automatically resize a data range as new data is entered over time. That
accomplishes a portion of my problem but i also need a macro that will sort
the data by employee last name and then plot on a chart based on that sorted
data.

Lots of sort macros out there, on Google for instance
Here is one:
Sub macSort()
Range("A1:A22").Select ' put the range here
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("A1"), Order1:=xlDescending, Header:=xlGuess, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom
end sub

This is a great reference:

Turn on the macro recorder and try it a few times yourself.

As for the dynamic range, all the info. you need is right he
