I've recorded a custom sort.
The sort works exactly how I want, when manually applied (during record process), but fails to apply when applied by executing recorded vba code; by fail, I mean not applying sort and no error messages displayed.
After the code has completed, I can visit the "Custom Sort" GUI and see my custom sort detailed in there (vba is correctly detailing my sort levels); Pressing ok from this screen, produces a sort warning to which I choose ok and then my sort actually applies.

The key piece that appears to be failing to execute, is the applying of the sort. Any idea's?

Code:
    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Orders").Sort.SortFields.Clear
    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Orders").Sort.SortFields.Add2 Key:=Range( _
        "M2:M9808"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:= _
        xlSortTextAsNumbers
    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Orders").Sort.SortFields.Add2 Key:=Range( _
        "A2:A9808"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:= _
        xlSortNormal
    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Orders").Sort.SortFields.Add2 Key:=Range( _
        "E2:E9808"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:= _
        xlSortNormal
    With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Orders").Sort
        .SetRange Range("A1:O9808")
        .Header = xlYes
        .MatchCase = False
        .Orientation = xlTopToBottom
        .SortMethod = xlPinYin
        .Apply
    End With
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as currency
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+4 to format cells as currency. (Shift 4 is the $ sign).
Change Add2 to Add and I added a variable to get the last row, test if it works for you.

Code:
Sub test()
  Dim lr As Long
[COLOR=#0000cd]  lr = Range("M" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row[/COLOR]
  With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Orders").Sort
    .SortFields.Clear
    .SortFields.[COLOR=#0000ff]Add [/COLOR]Key:=Range("M2:M" & lr), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, _
      Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortTextAsNumbers
    .SortFields.[COLOR=#0000ff]Add [/COLOR]Key:=Range("A2:A" & lr), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, _
      Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
    .SortFields.[COLOR=#0000ff]Add [/COLOR]Key:=Range("E2:E" & lr), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, _
      Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
    .SetRange Range("A1:O" & lr)
    .Header = xlYes
    .MatchCase = False
    .Orientation = xlTopToBottom
    .SortMethod = xlPinYin
    .Apply
  End With
End Sub
