Sub Sort_Active_Book() Dim i As Integer Dim j As Integer Dim iAnswer As VbMsgBoxResult ' ' Prompt the user as which direction they wish to ' sort the worksheets. ' iAnswer = MsgBox("Sort Sheets in Ascending Order?" & Chr(10) _ & "Clicking No will sort in Descending Order", _ vbYesNoCancel + vbQuestion + vbDefaultButton1, "Sort Worksheets") For i = 1 To Sheets.Count For j = 1 To Sheets.Count - 1 ' ' If the answer is Yes, then sort in ascending order. ' If iAnswer = vbYes Then If UCase$(Sheets(j).Name) > UCase$(Sheets(j + 1).Name) Then Sheets(j).Move After:=Sheets(j + 1) End If ' ' If the answer is No, then sort in descending order. ' ElseIf iAnswer = vbNo Then If UCase$(Sheets(j).Name) < UCase$(Sheets(j + 1).Name) Then Sheets(j).Move After:=Sheets(j + 1) End If End If Next j Next i End Sub
