I have found this VBA which will sort all the sheets I have in a workbook, but I only want to sort a few....can someone tell me should I name all sheets in the () or how can I do this. There are sheets before and after the 42 that I need sorted....or is there a shorter easier way??

It's maybe a bit messy, but one way you could do it is to make it dependent on an if statement, by putting a marker somewhere in those sheets that you want to sort. So designate a certain hidden cell in each sheet - let's say cell Z1 for example, and make it so your sort only runs if it finds a 'Y' in that cell, otherwise it just skips over to the next worksheet:

Code:

Is that the kind of thing you're after?
