    Exclamation Sort multiple columns by one column until BLANK, then REPEAT

    Hi,

    I have a sheet with multiple tables on the same worksheet 'Sheet1' separated by a blank row.

    I want the VBA to sort one by one.

    Considerations
    - Each table has different amount of rows
    - In the future, the columns amount will also change

    What will always be the same is:
    - The blank row between tables on column B, which is meant to be the starting point for excel to recognize there is a new table.
    - Each table will always be sorted by column C

    To give you a better picture, I am looking at consumer data cross tabs, where:

    COLUMN A = QUESTION TYPE
    COLUMN B = ANSWER CHOICES
    COLUMN C = Header is "TOTAL", and it contains % per answer choices

    The rest of COLUMS follow % like C but with different headers = like "male" "female" "user" "non user" "Age 18-25" "Age 26-34"....etc.

    I want to create a looped macro that will sort each table (and all the columns within the table) by Column C in ascending order identifying that it has to search for the next blank space and the table will be below it.

    Can someone help me out? I've tried looking at Looping, Sorting, and finding the next empty cell. But I can't put the pieces together for some reason.

    For ref: This one is the closest example and macro i've found to what im going for, but it doesn't apply to my scenario / couldn't make it work:

    Perhaps something like

    If that doesn't work, could you attach a workbook with a representative example of your lay-out, and the desired result?

    Prior to Macro.png

    That would be an example of how the file looks like

    This is how id like it to look (ignore the black border around each table) - the point is the sorting within each table in descending order of column C
