Hi Mr Excel Community,

I am trying to sort data using VBA.
The idea is to create a Macro for different users. The problem is that each users gets the same data but the columns order is different.
So the first step is to arrange the data in the same way for different users.
I would like to pass the data to an array then move array columns? is that possible? or create an array and start passing the data based on a fixed columns criteria?
I am sure that there are different ways, just trying to understand which is the best.

I was wondering if anyone has some code or have seen anything that could help me/guide in this process.
Thanks

How to show all formulas in Excel?
Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
The following code might be helpful if:
1) You have column headings in row 1
2) The data rows and columns are not separated by blank rows or columns, but all together as a block.

To use it, copy it and paste it into the worksheet to be sorted. Then, when a user wants to sort the worksheet, all they have to do is to click on the title in row 1. The order or names of the columns don't matter.
VBA Code:
' Selection Change
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
    Const cstrTitle As String = "Column Sort"
    Dim dblLastRow As Double
    Dim dblLastCol As Double
    Dim vbmStyle As VbMsgBoxStyle
    Dim strMsg As String
    '
    If (Target.Cells.Count = 1) Then
        If (Target.Row = 1) Then
            dblLastRow = Me.Cells(1, 1).CurrentRegion.Rows.CountLarge
            If (dblLastRow > 2) Then
                dblLastCol = Me.Cells(1, 1).CurrentRegion.Columns.CountLarge
                If (Target.Column <= dblLastCol) Then
                    vbmStyle = vbDefaultButton2 + vbQuestion + vbYesNo
                    strMsg = "Sort by '" & Target.Value & "'?"
                    If (MsgBox(strMsg, vbmStyle, cstrTitle) = vbYes) Then
                        Me.Cells(1, 1).CurrentRegion.Sort _
                            Header:=xlYes, _
                            Key1:=Me.Columns(Target.Column), _
                            Order1:=xlAscending
                    End If
                End If
            End If
        End If
    End If
End Sub
