Unreadable Content Error

I need some help troubleshooting an error. I have an spreadsheet with some code and it runs with no errors. I saved it and opened it the next day and got the "Excel found unreadable content. do you want to recover the contents?". It then states "Removed Records: Sorting from /xl/worksheets/sheet4.xml part". I looked in VBE and I do not have a Sheet4. Even with this removed, the code seems to work fine, but I'd like to resolve the error. I am assuming the problem is with the sorting code. I used the macro recorder to help, so I am not sure why it is wrong. Any advice would be appreciated. TIA.

Code:
Sub RunAll()
'
' Macro2 Macro
'

'
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False

    Worksheets("Data").Visible = True
    Sheets("Dataset").Select
    Cells.Select
    Selection.ClearContents
    Range("A1").Select
    
    Sheets("Data").Select
    Range("Table_Query_from_IQS[#All]").Select
    Selection.Copy
    Sheets("Dataset").Select
    Range("A1").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
        :=False, Transpose:=False
    Worksheets("Data").Visible = False
    
'Sort before cleaning data
LastRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
With Sheets("Dataset").Sort
     .SortFields.Add Key:=Range("A1"), Order:=xlAscending
     .SortFields.Add Key:=Range("M1"), Order:=xlAscending
     .SetRange Range("A1:U" & LastRow)
     .Header = xlYes
     .Apply
    End With

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
The error message is not clear, when it says "sheet4.xml" it means the 4th sheet in the workbook, not codename Sheet4.
The problem is because you are not removing the existing sort fields in the code, but simply adding them every time, so eventually you get so many that it causes a problem.
Try
Code:
With Sheets("Dataset").Sort
    [COLOR=#ff0000] .SortFields.Clear[/COLOR]
     .SortFields.Add Key:=Range("A1"), Order:=xlAscending
     .SortFields.Add Key:=Range("M1"), Order:=xlAscending
     .SetRange Range("A1:U" & LastRow)
     .Header = xlYes
     .Apply
End With
