VBA sort ws without selecting

My code adds data to worksheet (“Members”) without selecting the worksheet.
In order to sort the worksheet I have to select the ws and then select the range. Otherwise, the code sorts the active worksheet.
How can I modify my code to sort worksheet ("Members”) without selecting it?
Additionally, worksheet ("Members") will eventually exceed the selection range (JZ500). Can this be revised to make the range dynamic?
Thanks for looking!

Rich (BB code):
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
 
Sheets("Members").Unprotect
 
    Dim MemberName As String
    Dim iRow As Long
    Dim ws As Worksheet
   
 Set ws = Worksheets("Members")
 
    MemberName = Me.TextBox2.Value & " " & Me.TextBox1.Value
 
    Set CLoc = ws.Columns("C:C").Find(What:=MemberName, after:=ws.Cells(1, 3), LookIn:= _
                            xlFormulas, LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:= _
                            xlNext, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
                           
      If CLoc Is Nothing Then
        iRow = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 1) _
               .End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row
        Else
 
        iRow = CLoc.Row
        End If
 
With ws
    ws.Cells(iRow, 1) = StrConv(TextBox1.Text, vbProperCase)
    ws.Cells(iRow, 2) = StrConv(TextBox2.Text, vbProperCase)
    ws.Cells(iRow, 3) = StrConv(TextBox2.Text, vbProperCase) & " " & StrConv(TextBox1.Text, vbProperCase)
    ws.Cells(iRow, 4) = TextBox7.Value & Me.TextBox8.Value & Me.TextBox9.Value
    ws.Cells(iRow, 5) = StrConv(TextBox10.Text, vbLowerCase)
    ws.Cells(iRow, 7) = StrConv(TextBox3.Text, vbProperCase)
    ws.Cells(iRow, 10) = Me.TextBox6.Value   
    ws.Cells(iRow, 13) = Me.TextBox14.Value
    ws.Cells(iRow, 8) = StrConv(ComboBox2.Text, vbProperCase)
    ws.Cells(iRow, 9) = StrConv(ComboBox3.Text, vbUpperCase)
 
ws.Select
 [A2:JZ500].Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("B2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Key2:=Range("A2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:= _
                               xlYes, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
                               DataOption1:=xlSortNormalHeader
[A2].Select
 
‘More code follows
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Try
Code:
ws.Range("A2:JZ500").Sort Key1:=ws.Range("B2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Key2:=ws.Range("A2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:= _
                               xlYes, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
                               DataOption1:=xlSortNormalHeader

Hi,
try

Rich (BB code):
ws.UsedRange.Sort Key1:=ws.Range("B2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Key2:=ws.Range("A2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:= _
                               xlYes, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
                               DataOption1:=xlSortNormalHeader

note the qualification of the ranges with your worksheet object variable.
