Data Sorting Question

Here is my question. I have a workbook that has worksheet names that change depending on the day. I could have as many as 30 different sheets at one time. I am trying to write a macro that will sort the 4 of the worksheets data into one master file in a different location.
Here is the code I have thus far:

Sub Disperse_Data1()

Sheets(" 4828-010O").Select
Range("B1").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.Copy
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"C:\Documents and Settings\A369747.000\My Documents\AC Hose Dimensional Data.xls"
Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Range("C1").Select
Windows("sorted.xls").Activate
Sheets(" 4828-010I").Select
Range("C1").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.Copy
Windows("AC Hose Dimensional Data.xls").Activate
Range("C1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Windows("sorted.xls").Activate
Sheets(" 4828-010V").Select
Range("C1").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.Copy
Windows("AC Hose Dimensional Data.xls").Activate
Range("D1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Windows("sorted.xls").Activate
End Sub

This process would need to be repeated a varying number of times dpending upon the worksheet titles in the source ("sorted.xls") workbook. The range of worksheet titles in this workbook can be as many as 550 different worksheet names.
So my question is there an easier way and does anyone have a better way to approach this problem.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
Why not try using index numbers to refer to the sheets instead of names?
Code:
NumSheets = Workbooks("Sorted").Worksheets.Count
For i = 0 to NumSheets
     Worksheets(i).Activate
     (do your copy)
     Worksheets("AC Hose Data").Activate
     (do your paste - may need a counter if the target destination changes)
Next i

Hope this helps get you on track...

If I use this counter? Can I still associate the worksheet names in "sorted" with the names in the new workbook I am pasting information into? My thought is that with each time I run the macro, I will end up with different worksheet names being numbered some different number each time. And therefore I would not know how to get the numbered sheet to input the copied information into the correct sheet. Is there a way to clear this up and still associate the indexed number to the corresponding sheet in another workbook?

I'm confused; let's try to use some standard terms - you have many source sheets, and a single destination sheet ("AC Hose"). From the code you posted, you copy some data from various source sheets into a cell that seems to move down in your destination sheet. (Go back and look at the code you posted; you never even specify which sheet in "AC Hose" is to receive the data, so I assumed there was only one sheet there.)

If you are saying that you want to copy data from the various source sheets to many different sheets in the destination file, you'll have to tell us what sheets are the destination and how the name(s) of the destination sheets relate to the names of the source sheets.

I really think there's an easy way to do what you want, but you need to take a few minutes, and specify exactly what you need.

Sorry about that, I have gotten it working mostly the way I intended. I will post the code that I had to write in order to make it work. I am still wondering if there is a shorter way. I am a bit worried that I will run into a problem with locking up the computer with such a large macro. But I will not know this until I complete the macro I suppose. So anyway here is the code:

Sub Disperse_Data()

Workbooks.Open Filename:= _

Windows("Sorted.xls").Activate
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If ws.Name = " 4828-010O" Then
Windows("Sorted.xls").Activate
