Hi All,

I've recorded a macro that sorts about 19 tables (used to create charts).


I was wondering if there is a more efficient way to write this code? And if someone could have a crack at it?


Code: 
Sub SortZoneCharts()
'
' SortZoneCharts Macro
'

'
    Sheets("Chart_Tables").Select
    Range("F287:G301").Select
    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Chart_Tables").Sort.SortFields.Clear
    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Chart_Tables").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range( _
        "G288:G301"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlDescending, DataOption:= _
        xlSortNormal
    With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Chart_Tables").Sort
        .SetRange Range("F287:G301")
        .Header = xlYes
        .MatchCase = False
        .Orientation = xlTopToBottom
        .SortMethod = xlPinYin
        .Apply
    End With
    
    Range("H287:I301").Select
    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Chart_Tables").Sort.SortFields.Clear
    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Chart_Tables").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range( _
        "I288:I301"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlDescending, DataOption:= _
        xlSortNormal
    With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Chart_Tables").Sort
        .SetRange Range("H287:I301")
