I am doing some manipulation of a table that involves sorting it in various ways. At the end, I want to just go back to having it sorted by date, which is the column of data in column A.

Here is my code:

Excel Formula:
'Remove all filters and sorting

PurchTable.AutoFilter.ShowAllData

Set SortColumn = PurchTable.ListColumns(1).Range

With PurchTable.Sort

    .SortFields.Clear
    .SortFields.Add Key:=SortColumn, SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=Ascending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
    .Apply

End With

When I run it, I get "Application-defined or object-defined error" at the .Sortfields Add line

Here is my code that does exactly the same with a different table:

VBA Code:
'Undo all filters and resort by date

Set SortColumn = SalesTable.ListColumns(1).Range

With SalesTable

    .AutoFilter.ShowAllData
    
End With

With SalesTable.Sort

    .SortFields.Clear
    .SortFields.Add Key:=SortColumn, SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
    .Apply
    .SortFields.Clear
    
End With

I cannot see what the difference is between these codes (other than minor tidying issues), and why one would run and why the other would not.

I have sense checked the references in the immediate window, and they all look right.

So what is the issue?
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
You dont say where/when the error is generated? Or maybe no error but just doesnt work?

You have Order:=xlAscending on the original and Order:=Ascending on the other.

Failing that, how are you defining SalesTable and PurchTable?
