Hi,
I have 100*374 data. With 374 columns, I want to sort each row of my data in descending order but keeping in mind that the respective column heading should also be sorted with the data.
For Example: BMW, Ferrari, Audi and Honda are the column headings in the first row and the other two rows are the data.


BMW......Ferrari.....Audi......Honda
32..........42........ 17..........19
50..........39.........40..........25


Now, Each Row should be sorted each time with their column headings


Ferrari..........BMW...........Honda.........Audi
42................32...............19.............17


BMW........Audi........Ferrari.......Honda
50............40.......... 39..............25




Any help will be greatly appreciated.


Note: I have places the same question on http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=10

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Hi c_m_s_jr,
What do you mean by this statement "I would think you would need a new column header above each row of data."?

New column means?

This assumes your data is on Sheet1 and the results will be at Sheet2?

Code:
Sub near()
Dim i As Long
Dim lr As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet

Set ws = Sheets("Sheet1")

lr = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row

For i = lr To 2 Step -1

    Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1:A3").EntireRow.Insert SHIFT:=xlDown
    ws.Activate
    Rows("1:1").Copy Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1")
    Range("A" & i).EntireRow.Copy Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A2")
    Sheets("Sheet2").Activate
    Rows("1:2").Select
    Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("A2"), Order1:=xlDescending, Header:=xlGuess, _
        OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlLeftToRight, _
        DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
    ws.Activate
    
Next i
  
End Sub

Thanks for your solution....
But I want the sorted result on the same sheet (not on sheet2) under the main data (one line after each time)

Probably much better ways, this still uses Sheet2 as a helper.

Code:
Sub near()
Dim i As Long
Dim lr As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet

Set ws = Sheets("Sheet1")

lr = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row

For i = lr To 2 Step -1

    Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1:A3").EntireRow.Insert SHIFT:=xlDown
    ws.Activate
    Rows("1:1").Copy Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1")
    Range("A" & i).EntireRow.Copy Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A2")
    Sheets("Sheet2").Activate
    Rows("1:2").Select
    Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("A2"), Order1:=xlDescending, Header:=xlGuess, _
        OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlLeftToRight, _
        DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
    ws.Activate
    
Next i

Sheets("Sheet2").Activate
Sheets("Sheet2").UsedRange.Cut ws.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(3)(2)
  
End Sub
