Hi everyone:
I'm not sure whether I'm asking too much with this wish but I'll give it a go. I have a shared worksheet which consists of 14 columns and approx 100 rows. It is a working document with many users and growing in size. It also has a column which automatically records the last time anything was updated in the corresponding row. This is column 'B'

So what I would like to be able to do is for the spreadsheet to sort in the same way as a Data>Sort but do it by date automatically everytime the date in column 'B' is changed or at least each time the worksheet is saved.

Is this possible?
Thanks everyone.
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
Sure, you can do that with VBA code. There is VBA code that is automatically triggered by "events", such as changing the value of a cell, or saving the workbook. These are called Event Procedures.

Here is a good link on Event Procedures:
