automatic sorting in excel

[Gostal]

I would like to be able to have a column sorted alphabetically contiuously.
In other words, whenever data is entered, the whole column gets arranged
alphabetically without having to "click' on the sort function.

I am not a power user of excel, but I now understand the basics of running a
macro. I have been guided to use the following macro example and adapt it to
my worksheet. I have tried a few changes, but I cannot get it to work. Lets
say the filename is "mybook" and the worksheet name is "sheet1" and the
range I want to sort automatically is B1:B20

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)


Columns("B:B").Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("B1"), Order1:=xlAscending

End Sub

However, I am not sure exactly which part I need to change in this code, for
it to work on my worksheet.


Thanks.

Try Aaron Blood's Auto Sort subroutine. Its triggered automatically by
typing, and returns the sorted version on a different sheet. Sounds
exactly what you're after. See XL-Logic.com for details, you have to
