Sorting many rows (not columns)

Ok, I want to be able to sort many rows (over 800) alphabetically where Column A is the header column. I recorded a small sample macro to get an idea of what the code looks like. There is no option to leave Column A open as a header so for example only, I highlighted B1:H1, then sorted, then B2:H2, then sorted. Below is what it looks like. I would actually want the entire row (minus A) to be sorted to around 800 rows.

I want to add some kind of loop in here.

Code:
Sub sort1()
'
' sort1 Macro
'

'
    Range("B1:H1").Select
    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Sort.SortFields.Clear
    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range("B1:H1"), _
        SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
    With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Sort
        .SetRange Range("B1:H1")
        .Header = xlGuess
        .MatchCase = False
        .Orientation = xlLeftToRight
        .SortMethod = xlPinYin
        .Apply
    End With
    Range("B2:H2").Select
    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Sort.SortFields.Clear
    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range("B2:H2"), _
        SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
    With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Sort
        .SetRange Range("B2:H2")
        .Header = xlGuess
        .MatchCase = False
        .Orientation = xlLeftToRight
        .SortMethod = xlPinYin
        .Apply
    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
I'm not sure I understand how you want it all sorted, but here's a guess.
Each row sorted individually left to right ascending columns B:H

Code:
Sub Sort1()
'
' Sort1 Macro
'
        
    Dim r As Long, Lastrow As Long
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
    With Worksheets("Sheet1")
    
        Lastrow = .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
        
        For r = 1 To Lastrow
            
            .Range("B" & r).Resize(1, 7).Sort Key1:=.Range("B" & r), Order1:=xlAscending, MatchCase:=False, _
                                              Orientation:=xlLeftToRight, DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
            
        Next r

    End With
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    
End Sub
