I have

Range("A2:C4").Sort Key1:=Range("B2:B4"), Key2:=Range("C2:C4")

I want to sort column C in descending order. When I add the XlSortOrder, I get a "named argument not found" error. What am I doing wrong?

Range("A2:C4").Sort Key1:=Range("B2:B4"), Key2:=Range("C2:C4"), XlSortOrder:=xlDescending

Also, whenever it sorts, it puts the blanks in column B at the bottom of the sort. I would like it so that when I run the macro, the rows with blanks in column B are at the top rather than bottom.

Current Sort Results
