How to modify VBA so the order of print out follows input print pages?

[London12F]

The VBA can do the following:
1. Input print pages (e.g. 3,6,4)
2 .VBA can print out as pdf all input pages, but not in order (i.e. 6,3,4).

How to modify the VBA so that the print out is in order of input pages, i.e. 3,6,4?

Sub PrintSOR()

On Error GoTo 1000


ro = ActiveCell.Row
co = ActiveCell.Column


Dim selectionRange As Range
Dim newRange As Range


PrintoutPath = "C:\Users\DK-01\Desktop\Scan\"


Set Sh = ActiveSheet
n = ActiveSheet.HPageBreaks.Count
    
which = InputBox("Print pages (1,3,5-" & n & ")?", PrintoutPath, "1-" & n)


NameOfFile = which
which = Split(which, ",")


For i = LBound(which) To UBound(which)
    part = Split(which(i), "-")
    f = part(0)
    If UBound(part) = 0 Then
        t = f
    Else: t = part(1)
    End If
    
GoSub SetRange


Next i


selectionRange.Select
    
Selection.ExportAsFixedFormat _
        Type:=xlTypePDF, _
        Filename:=PrintoutPath & NameOfFile & ".pdf", _
        Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
        IncludeDocProperties:=True, _
        IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _
        OpenAfterPublish:=False


Cells(ro, co).Select: End


SetRange:


s = Range("print_area").Address()
P_Area = Split(s, ",")
p = Split(P_Area(0), ":")


PL = Mid(p(0), 2, InStrRev(p(0), "$") - 2) ' left of printarea = B
PR = Mid(p(1), 2, InStrRev(p(0), "$") - 2) ' right of printarea
    
   Set newRange = Range(Cells(55 * (f - 1) + 1, Asc(PL) - 64), Cells(55 * t, Asc(PR) - 64))
    
    If selectionRange Is Nothing Then
        Set selectionRange = newRange
    Else
        Set selectionRange = Application.Union(selectionRange, newRange)
    End If
Return


1000 End Sub

Splitting it up by pages is a bit more involved but since you did not like either of my two methods, I did not see a reason to post code.

I bet you would be surprised how fast a copy and paste to a scatchworkbook would be. The only real issue is how to make each "page" into the ordered worksheets.

I guess you could print to a pdf printer? Since you are asking for input anyway, the macro could be very simple to maybe pre-fill the print dialog and then show it.

Thanks Kenneth for your opinions.
I will try your suggestion.
