VBA Script Edits: Secondary Filter+Sort+Export

Geniuses,

I am trying to adapt a script I have to add a more complicated step in filtering, sorting, and looping through my data.

Range 1 = Column I2:I
Range 2 = Column J2:J

Basically, I need a way to rework the code to select the first unique value in Range 1, then select the first unique value in Range 2, and run a sort and export. THEN, start the process over, however select the first unique value in Range 1, and select the SECOND unique value in Range 2, and run a sort. This would continue until all unique values in Range 2 are exhausted, at which point I would want the script to move to the second unique value in Range 1. This would repeat until all values in both ranges are processed.

Here is the current code that only selects from Range 1:
Code:
Set Rng = ws3.Range("i2:i" & ws3.Cells(Rows.Count, "i").End(xlUp).Row)
Rng.Sort Key1:=ws3.Range("I1"), Order1:=xlAscending


This would need to be adapted to also include values from Range 2 somewhere where it mentions Range.Autofilter Field:=2. In this case, Range 1 is Field:=2, and Range 2 is Field:=3

Code:
lRow = 6 'set current last row for start of ws3 summary sheet
 
'loop to copy row 3 from ws1 to ws2
 
For Each cell In Rng
 
    'increment last row
    i = i + 1
 
    With ws1
        .ListObjects("Table3").Range.AutoFilter Field:=2, Criteria1:=cell.Value
        .Range("B3:E3").Copy
        ws2.Range("B" & lRow + i).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
    End With


The main reason why is I want to export a table showing unique threat values covering a specific area. Right now, the code only exports 1 threat per area, not multiple.

Example of the Dataset:

[TABLE="width: 413"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Inspection[/TD]
[TD]Area[/TD]
[TD]Threat[/TD]
[TD]Condition[/TD]
[TD]Sq. Footage[/TD]

Example of what the script currently does (when filtered for Inspection_1 as desired):

[TD]Sq. Footage[/TD]

[TR]
[TD]300A[/TD]
[TD]Green[/TD]
[TD]Good[/TD]
[TD]6000[/TD]
[/TR]

Example of what I want (when filtered for Inspection_1 as desired):

[TABLE="width: 429"]

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
