The code below, kindly provided / supported by others in the group identifies / selects a range of rows where the contents in Column C match

It will then sort those rows using the sort criteria included

What I would like to be able to do is to somehow modify the code so that each subsequent block of rows of the same value in column C are sorted

For example rows 10 to 19 have value 1 in column C, so the code selects this range and sorts
Next , row 20 to 34 have the value 2 in column C so the code will select that range and sort, and so on until the last row of the sheet

Could you please help with addition / modification of the code

Code:
Sub SortSubDeptAlphabetically2()    'ALPHABETICALLY
    On Error Resume Next
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
    Dim firstRow    As Long
    Dim lastRow     As Long
    Dim actCelRow   As Long
    Dim colCnumber  As Long
    
    actCelRow = ActiveCell.Row
    colCnumber = Cells(actCelRow, 3)
    
    firstRow = actCelRow
    If firstRow < 9 Then firstRow = 9
    While Not IsEmpty(Cells(firstRow, 3)) _
      And Cells(firstRow, 3) = colCnumber
        firstRow = firstRow - 1
    Wend
    
    lastRow = actCelRow
    If lastRow <= 9 Then lastRow = 9
    While Not IsEmpty(Cells(lastRow, 3)) _
      And Cells(lastRow, 3) = colCnumber
        lastRow = lastRow + 1
    Wend
       
    Range(Cells(firstRow + 1, 1), Cells(lastRow - 1, "AY")).Select
    
     With Selection
        .Sort Key1:=.Cells(firstRow, 7), Order1:=xlAscending, _
              key2:=.Cells(firstRow, 24), order2:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo, key3:=.Cells(firstRow, 8), order3:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo
    End With
    Range("a7:bb7").Select
    ActiveWindow.ScrollRow = firstRow - 7
    
    Range("ab" & firstRow + 1).Select
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Many Thanks

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
I'm not sure whether my explanation / code about really explained things, and what I'm hoping to achieve

Any help much appreciated
