I visited the link below and see the function to sort by tab(sheet) name, but
I do not know where to type this function in. I don't know what all of the it
means, but I thought I would poke at it until I make it work for me.

If you're not familiar with VBA and macros, see David McRitchie's site for
more on "getting started".

http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm

or Ron de De Bruin's site on where to store macros.

http://www.rondebruin.nl/code.htm

In the meantime..........

First...create a backup copy of your original workbook.

To create a General Module, hit ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor.

Hit CRTL + r to open Project Explorer.

Find your workbook/project and select it.

Right-click and InsertModule. Paste the code in there. Save the
workbook and hit ALT + Q to return to your workbook.

Run or edit the macro by going to ToolMacroMacros.

You can also assign this macro to a button or a shortcut key combo.

Nope.

Just copy Chip's code into a general module inside that VBE window. At the
bottom of that web page, there's a link to a module that can be imported into
your workbook's project:

http://cpearson.com/Zips/modSortingWorksheets.zip

Then create another procedure that call's Chip's code:

Option Explicit
Sub testme()
If SortWorksheetsByName(0, 0, "", False) = False Then
MsgBox "something bad happened"
Else
MsgBox "ok--check the sheets"
End If
End Sub
