VBA to Add a New Field to my Pivot

I wrote a pivot to add a new field to a pivot table but it's adding the field to the end of the other fields (Pivot has Month 1 - 8 and a YTD field) I want to add Month 9 so that I get Month 1 - 9 and a YTD field that adds up Months 1 to 9. When I record the Macro and place Month 9 where I want it (before the YTD field) I then run the macro and it puts Month 9 after the YTD field so I get Month 1-8 then YTD then Month 9.

I tried to record the macro to place it after YTD then reselect Month 9 and move it before YTD (so I get Month 1-9 then YTD) but when I run it I get an error. Can anyone help with a solution?

Here's the VBA:

Range("E190").Select
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable2").AddDataField ActiveSheet.PivotTables( _
"PivotTable2").PivotFields("009.2018"), "Count of 009.2018", xlCount
With ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable2").PivotFields("Count of 009.2018")
.Caption = "Sum of 009.2018"
.Function = xlSum
End With
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable2").AddDataField ActiveSheet.PivotTables( _
"PivotTable2").PivotFields("YTD"), "YTD", xlSum


Here's what it's selecting as the error as a Run-time Error 5: Invalid procedure call or argument

ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable2").AddDataField ActiveSheet.PivotTables( _
"PivotTable2").PivotFields("YTD"), "YTD", xlSum
 

Excel Facts

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
Anyone out there that could help me with this? I usually get a great response when I post. Maybe I need to explain a little clearer?
