Note - When I say rows, I mean cells in column A only and not the whole row.

Background

There are two sets of data. Lets call the data on the top, Data A and data on the bottom, Data B

I have made a Macro (VBA provided at the bottom) that:
1. Clears the Conditional Formatting on the entire sheet.
2. Highlights all duplicate rows as Red.
3. Highlights all duplicate rows in Data A as Green.
4. Highlights all non-empty cells in Column E as Yellow.
5. Sorts Data A in the following order. Red cells in Column A, Green cells in Column A, Yellow cells in Column E, Column A Values Ascending, Column D Values Ascending.

In simple words it;
a) marks duplicate rows present in both Data A & Data B as red
b) marks duplicate rows of Data A as Green.

In the image below: Data A(A6:A8)=Data B(A18,A20) Data A(A9:A10)=Data B(A19) Data A(A4:A5)

Question

Now I want the Macro to work this way:
1) Duplicate rows of whole data should be Highlighted Red
2) Duplicate rows in Data A that are also present in Data B should all be Highlighted Blue
3) Duplicate rows present only in Data A should be Highlighted Green
4) Any non-blank cells in Column E should be Yellow
