I currently have a list that I put numbers on so that it sorts alphabetically.

I would like to get rid of the numbers and it still sorts in exactly that same order- like this...

So I created a new Custom List in my Excel settings as follows...

My problem is that my VBA code below does not sort according to my new custom list.

How do make it sort properly?

VBA Code:
Sub SortTable()

    Dim iSheet As Worksheet
    Dim iTable As ListObject
    Dim iColumn As Range

    Set iSheet = ActiveSheet
    Set iTable = iSheet.ListObjects("MASTER")
    Set iColumn1 = Range("MASTER[Status]")
    Set iColumn2 = Range("MASTER[CloseD]")
    Set iColumn3 = Range("MASTER[C1]")
    
    With iTable.Sort
    
      .SortFields.Clear
            .SortFields.Add Key:=iColumn1, Order:=xlAscending
            .SortFields.Add Key:=iColumn2, Order:=xlDescending
            .SortFields.Add Key:=iColumn3, Order:=xlAscending
            .Header = xlYes
            .Apply
        End With

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Try turning on your Macro Recorder, and then MANUALLY set the sorting to use your Custom Sorting List.
Then stop the Macro Recorder, and view your code.
This should show you how to use your Custom Sorting list in VBA.
