Sorting code

Hello,

I am new to VBA and have what is probably quite a simple problem. I have a
two-column list that does not have column headers. The values in column 2
come are generated by links to other areas of sheet1 and change quite often.
I have to keep resorting the list when a change occurs.

I would like to find the code that will automatically sort on column 2 of my
range as values change.

Thanks in advance,

Try some VBA event code

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Const WS_RANGE As String = "B:B"

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
With Target
Columns("A:B").Sort key1:=Range("B1"), header:=xlNo
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

If the change is due to a recalculation as you imply, then you might want to
use the calculate event instead:

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate
On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
Columns("A:B").Sort key1:=Range("B1"), header:=xlNo
ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Place it in the same module as described by Bob.

Thanks very much Gents,

I notice that everyone wants to get hold of a good VBA book, but it seems to
be hard to find one. I have used your code and was able to modify it and
include several more ranges to sort and a few other things but I am finding
that I cannot 'create' some of the basic stuff that I need to do (loops,
withs, etc). Would you have any recommendations for a person with limited
time who wants to improve.

Try this,
Put below code to your worksheet's code module.

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Range("b1").CurrentRegion.Sort Key1:=Range("b1"), Order1:=xlAscending,
Header:=xlNo _
, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom,
_
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
End Sub
