I have recorded amacro to sort column E from A-Z
Row 1 are headers & value are row 2 then down the page.

The sort works fine BUT the recorded code is way to long so need to condense it.

Also noticed the range was still selected once sorted.
At the end of the recorded code i thought by adding to select cell A1 would work but i then get an error.

Please advise thanks

Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
    Dim varNewValue As Variant
    
    varNewValue = InputBox("Enter the desired value for Col. E:")
    
    If Len(varNewValue) > 0 Then
        ThisWorkbook.Sheets("DATABASE INFO").Range("E" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Value = varNewValue
    End If
        ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("DATABASE INFO").ListObjects("Table5").Sort. _
        SortFields.Clear
    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("DATABASE INFO").ListObjects("Table5").Sort. _
        SortFields.Add Key:=Range("Table5[[#All],[CLONING MODEL]]"), SortOn:= _
        xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortTextAsNumbers
    With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("DATABASE INFO").ListObjects("Table5").Sort
        .Header = xlYes
        .MatchCase = False
        .Orientation = xlTopToBottom
        .SortMethod = xlPinYin
        .Apply
    End With
    With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("DATABASE INFO")
        .Range("A1").Select
        End With
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
The length of that code is actually fairly short. I see little that can be done other than using a With block for repeated reference
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("DATABASE INFO").ListObjects("Table5")
That would remove 3 lines and add 2 (the With and End With lines) so no big improvement there in terms of shortening code. It might make it a bit easier to read and grasp that all of that applies to one thing, but if the goal is to shorten the code, it won't do much for that.

OK had to look at it again but now confused myself so please advise how i need to write this.

I wish that when the worksheet DATABASE INFO is opened COLUMN A & COLUMN E are sorted A-Z
As mentioned ROW 1 are HEADERS.
The data to sort is then ROW 2 & down the page.

Thanks

I got this to do what i require BUT i dont want it with a spcific but with the code to find last row.

Rich (BB code):
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
With Worksheets("DATABASE INFO")
.Activate
Range("A1:A18").Sort Key1:=Range("A1"), Header:=xlYes
Range("B1:B5").Sort Key1:=Range("B1"), Header:=xlYes
Range("C1:C10").Sort Key1:=Range("C1"), Header:=xlYes
Range("D1:D35").Sort Key1:=Range("D1"), Header:=xlYes
Range("E1:E66").Sort Key1:=Range("E1"), Header:=xlYes
Range("F1:F11").Sort Key1:=Range("F1"), Header:=xlYes
End With

Application.WindowState = xlMaximized

End Sub

Then I guess you will have to do this for every column
intColA = Sheets("DATABASE INFO").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Rows
intColB = Sheets("DATABASE INFO").Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Rows
and so on. Then replace the range reference with Range("A1:A" & intColA)
That assumes there is no data in the column below the row you've show. In other words, there can't be anything below row 18 in column A, or below row 5 in B etc.
