Re: [ExcelVBA] Problem: sort sheets according to two sets of criteria

Hi Paul,

First, sorry for the empty message.
I am not familiar with this mail program, and I do stupid mistakes.

Wow!

You did much more then I was asking, (I did not ask for a complete code).
But the main reason I asked to the group was to come out of my habits and try to learn something new, here it is!
I knew I should sort the array, and I did not know how.
I am so glad.
Now I have concrete to work with.

I am not sure if I understand the "X" in:
> If (Sheets("Source").Cells(R, "B").Value & "X" <> "X") Then


but let me think a little bit.

I will study and try the code and give you feedback.

Yes I will remove the sheet "Problem Description", but in the real book, I have 4 sheets before the "A,B,C..." sheets to sort.

Thank you so much! Once it is done, it will save me so much time and mistakes!
