Help with date sorting macro

Copper Contributor

Hi all, 

 

Hoping to get some help on a macro in order to sort an entire worksheet by date. 

I have multiple rows and the first column is the date (using a date and time picker macro). People will be going in and filling out the spreadsheet, but with each row of information, the date of that item may change to a later date. I want to have a macros where by when the date of a row is changed in column A, it moves the entire row up or down to order it in the order of the date. Does this make sense? 

 

The one macro I found is below, but I'm not sure how to change it in order to read the entire sheet and move the rows. I also already have a date and time picker macro in the sheet, so wondering would I just paste this below it? Any help? 

 

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'Updateby Extendoffice 20160606
    On Error Resume Next
    If Application.Intersect(Target, Application.Columns(1)) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
    Range("A1").Sort Key1:=Range("A2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlYes, _
                                        OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom
End Sub

@stephanieporter Hey I have created a simpler Macro you can try this Macro

 

Sub Macro2()
'
' Macro2 Macro
'

'
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Cells.Select
Selection.AutoFilter
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").AutoFilter.Sort.SortFields.Clear
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").AutoFilter.Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range _
("A1:A1048576"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:= _
xlSortNormal
With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").AutoFilter.Sort
.Header = xlYes
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With
Range("A1").Select
Selection.AutoFilter
End Sub

 

I am also attaching the file you can check whether it is running

Thank you! @DevendraJain 

 

If I have another Macro on the worksheet, do I just copy and paste this underneath it in the coding section?

Ok so not sure it's working. The code thats currently in my work book (for column a to have date and time pickers in it) is: 


Private Sub DTPicker1_CallbackKeyDown(ByVal KeyCode As Integer, ByVal Shift As Integer, ByVal CallbackField As String, CallbackDate As Date)

End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

With Sheet1.DTPicker1
.Height = 20
.Width = 20
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A115:A120,A122:A131")) Is Nothing Then
.Visible = True
.Top = Target.Top
.Left = Target.Offset(0, 1).Left
.LinkedCell = Target.Address
Else
.Visible = False
End If
End With

End Sub

 

I now need something to sort all the rows by date should we decide to change the date on something, I want it to automatically move all the content and align them in date order (if possible). There are 17 columns of information that all needs to stick together. Am I making sense? I can't post a copy of the work book as it's confidential information. 

 

Thanks
