Auto sort table

[subtleskeptic]

Hello I have a table in a worksheet where I will update column A2, A3, A4 etc and on values and would like to sort automatically - in addition, B1, C1, D1, etc and on values can be updated too and would want the columns to sort alphabetically starting from B1 and on...
i found this code, but it only seems to work with columns

<code class="vb keyword" style="white-space: nowrap; font-size: 1em !important; font-family: Consolas, "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono", "Courier New", Courier, monospace !important; color: rgb(0, 102, 153) !important;

How many columns are in this range you want to sort?
Do you want to sort the whole range together, or just certain columns?

 

[subtleskeptic]

columns can be dynamic, i.e, adding and removing
and the whole range should be sorted

 

[Joe4]

Try this:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

    Dim myRange As Range
    
'   Set range to be current region
    Set myRange = Range("B1").CurrentRegion

    On Error Resume Next
    If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B:B")) Is Nothing Then
        Range("B1").Sort Key1:=Range("B2"), _
            Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlYes, _
            OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, _
            Orientation:=xlTopToBottom
    End If
    
End Sub

hmmm, doesnt seem to work (auto sort when i add something new in)
lets ditch the B1, C1, D1 - i think that would be a bit easier right

so lets say, this dataset, is a named table - called "table1"
new columns will be added/removed and new rows can be added and removed

when i add in a new row, id like the table to sort automatically on column a (row 1 as header)

is this feasible please?
thanks!

Sorry, I have been out of town for over a week.

It seems to work fine for me.
Please describe an EXACT example of how it does not work for you.
Post a small sample of your data, and describe exactly how you are inserting data.
