Is there any way to simplify this code?

Steps:
1. put in filter on table (specified by range)
2. sort alphabetically on column A
3. take off filter


Code:

<font face=Calibri><SPAN style="color:#007F00">'Sort Table 1 Alphabetically</SPAN><br>LastRow_T1 = Sheet5.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row<br><br>Sheet5.Range("A4:L" & LastRow_T1).AutoFilter<br>    Sheet5.AutoFilter.Sort.SortFields.Clear<br>    Sheet5.AutoFilter.Sort.SortFields.Add Key _<br>        :=Sheet5.Range("A4:A" & LastRow_T1), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption _<br>        :=xlSortTextAsNumbers<br>    <SPAN style="color:#00007F">With</SPAN> Sheet5.AutoFilter.Sort<br>        .Header = xlYes<br>        .MatchCase = <SPAN style="color:#00007F">False</SPAN><br>        .Orientation = xlTopToBottom<br>        .SortMethod = xlPinYin<br>        .Apply<br>    <SPAN style="color:#00007F">End</SPAN> <SPAN style="color:#00007F">With</SPAN><br>    Sheet5.Range("A4:L4").AutoFilter</FONT>

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Maybe ...

Code:
    Sheet5.Range("A4").CurrentRegion.Sort Key1:=Range("A4"), _
                                          DataOption1:=xlSortTextAsNumbers, _
                                          Header:=xlYes

I need to have the sort done in a specified range because there is another table below it that I don't want included in the sort. Will your suggestion work with that in mind?

CurrentRegion will only work if the range you want to sort is bounded on all sides by blank rows or columns or an edge of the sheet -- which is kind of good practice anyway.

Thanks that worked out perfectly! I did have to add in a "sheet5" to the other range though, because I am running the macro on a different sheet.

Code:

<font face=Calibri>Sheet5.Range("A4").CurrentRegion.Sort Key1:=Sheet5.Range("A4"), _<br>                                          DataOption1:=xlSortTextAsNumbers, _<br>                                          Header:=xlYes</FONT>
