Hi again,

I have a table of data containing staff information that I need to custom sort however i'm struggling to find anything online to do what I need.

The Table is called Table1 and it is on sheet "A Team". I would like to custom sort column "B" which has the header "Department" in the order: "Warehouse", "Back Office", "Hospitality", "Customer Services". I then want to sort column "D" ascending which has the header "Surname" and then by column "E" which has the header "First Name".

As always thanks in advance.

Edited to add an equal sign.
VBA Code:
Sub CustomSort_Diving_Dan()

Dim TBO As ListObject, C_B As Long, WS As Worksheet

Application.AddCustomList Array("Warehouse", "Back Office", "Hospitality", "Customer Services")

C_B = Application.CustomListCount

Set WS = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("A Team")
Set TBO = WS.ListObjects("Table1")

With TBO
   
    With .Sort
       
        With .SortFields
           
            .Add Key:=WS.Cells(1, 2), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, CustomOrder:=C_B
            .Add Key:=WS.Cells(1, 4), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending
            .Add Key:=WS.Cells(1, 5), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending
           
        End With
       
        .MatchCase= False
        .Header = xlYes
        .Apply
       
    End With

End With

Application.DeleteCustomList C_B

End Sub

That works perfectly thanks.

If I wanted to custom sort column G first using a different criteria how would I create and add in that custom list?
