I'm trying to solve a problem, so far without success. I have a pivot table and , with VBA code, I would like the values in the 'Country' field to be in the exact order I specified:
(blank), Czech Republic, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Spain, Greece, Brazil, Argentina

This is what I have:

I know Norway isn't in my table, but if it does show up, it should be in the right place after running the code.

I was trying to achieve my goal using the code below but with no luck.

VBA Code:
Dim PvtTbl As PivotTable
Set PvtTbl = Worksheets("Sheet4").PivotTables("PivotTable2")

Application.AddCustomList Array("(blank)", "Czech Republic", "Finland", "Denmark", "Spain", "Greece", "Brazil", "Argentina")

PvtTbl.SortUsingCustomLists = True

PvtTbl.PivotFields("Country").DataRange.Sort Order1:=xlAscending, Type:=xlSortLabels

BTW, when I run it and then I sort the column manually (A to Z), I get the below:

It seems to be fine except "(blank)" which is not at the beginning. I am confused. Do you have an idea how to solve it?
 

Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
