I am using this snippet from recorder.

VBA Code:
Columns("O:O").Select 
Dim SortO As Long
   SortO = Range("O" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
  
   ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("data").Sort.SortFields.Clear
   ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("data").Sort.SortFields.Add2 Key:=Range("O2:O" & SortO) _
       , SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
   With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("data").Sort
       .SetRange Range("O1:O" & SortO)
       .Header = xlYes
       .MatchCase = False
       .Orientation = xlTopToBottom
       .SortMethod = xlPinYin
       .Apply
   End With
Columns("P:P").Select


I added the Row length part since each column I need to sort has a different length. I need to sort from column O all they way to column CJ.
I'm sure there is an easier way other then writing a block for each column, I am fairly new and looking for a better solution.
In advance any and all help is appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
The following code assumes you don't have any data located below the range in each column. Please try it on a copy of your data.

VBA Code:
Option Explicit
Sub Sort_Many()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim ws As Worksheet, lr As Long, i As Long
    Set ws = Worksheets("data")
    ws.Sort.SortFields.Clear
    
    For i = 15 To 88
        ws.Columns(i).Sort Key1:=Cells(1, i), order1:=1, Header:=1
        ws.Sort.SortFields.Clear
    Next i
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
