When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.

I should try using
Code: 
With ActiveSheet.Sort
lastRow = .Range("D" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
NB: In this way "lastRow" is calculated according the content of column D.

These lines would replace the following two:
With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(ActiveSheet.Name).Sort
lastRow = .Range(ActiveSheet.Name)("A:D" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

Try replacing

Code: 
With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(ActiveSheet.Name).Sort
 lastRow = .Range(ActiveSheet.Name)("A:D" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
 With .Sort
 .SetRange Range("A1:D" & lastRow)
 .SetRange ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Range("A1:D500")
 .Header = xlYes
 .MatchCase = False
 .Orientation = xlTopToBottom
 .SortMethod = xlPinYin
 .Apply
 End With
with
Code: 
    Range("A1", Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp)).Sort _
            Key1:=Range("A1"), Header:=xlYes
