macro for arranging by Contract #

[Guest]

Hello experts,

I am trying to arrange information by contract # or by date. I produce a
material everyday and input the information into the spreadsheet the latest
is the last line but the contract #'s vary per day (See example #1). I want
to organize everything either by contract # or by date so that I can graph
each accordingly (example #2). The graphing part is working either way I
put the data in to the sheet.

Example #1:
Date Cont # Gmm Gse #200
7/18 123 2.654 2.890 5.2
7/20 564 2.650 2.889 4.2
7/21 123 2.657 2.895 6.8

Example #2:
7/18 123 2.654 2.890 5.2
7/21 123 2.657 2.895 6.8
7/20 564 2.650 2.889 4.2

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you all in advance!!

Try something like this. This assumes that your headers are in row 1.

Sub Sort()

Dim aWS As Worksheet
Dim myRange As Range
Dim lRow As Long
Set aWS = ActiveSheet
Set myRange = aWS.Range("A1")
lRow = aWS.Cells(aWS.Rows.Count, myRange.Column).End(xlUp).Row

Set myRange = myRange.Resize(lRow - myRange.Row + 1, 5) '<~~~can change the
# of columns here
myRange.Sort Key1:=Range("B2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal

End Sub

The headers are not in row 1 they are in row 26. I am assuming that this
would change the macro at this point; Set myRange = aWS.Range("A1") change
("A1") to ("A26"). Correct?

Barb,

This command works great with 2 exceptions.

1. What if I want to have a certain contract that I want on top
ie:456 instead of 123. With the macro you gave me it does the contracts in
numerical order.

2. If I have to count the columns backwards how do I do this? Putting in a
negative sign isn't working nor is placing brackets around it.

IE:
Set myRange = aWS.Range("H1")
lRow = aWS.Cells(aWS.Rows.Count, myRange.Column).End(xlUp).Row

Set myRange = myRange.Resize(lRow - myRange.Row + 1,- 5)

I again appreciate all the help. Have a great weekend.
