I am trying to do a basic sort with VBA. I have a data range with headers. I tried to adapt code that I found on line but the headers get sorted with the data. Not what I need! My hack-code is shown below. I set the "all data" range needed by getting the current region using one of the headers. What do I need to do to sort the two keys without headers sorting too? I suspect that I need to specify Header:=xlYes but I cannot figure out how?

VBA Code:
Sub Sort_Names_Main()

    Dim rAllData As Range

    With [Main]
        
        Set rAllData = .Range("Header_LastName").CurrentRegion
    
        With .Sort
            
            .SortFields.Clear
            .SortFields.Add Key:=Range("Header_LastName"), Order:=xlAscending
            .SortFields.Add Key:=Range("Header_FirstName"), Order:=xlAscending

            .SetRange rAllData
            .Apply
        
        End With '.Sort
        
    End With

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop
Typically it would be this way.

VBA Code:
        With .Sort
            .Header = xlYes
