You can sort data that is contained in worksheet ranges and lists at run time. The following code sorts a multi-column range named Fruits by the data in the first column, and then by the data in the second column.

To sort data in a NamedRange control

  • Call the Sort method of the NamedRange control. The following example requires a NamedRange control named Fruits on a worksheet. This code must be placed in a sheet class, not in the ThisWorkbook class.

    Me.Fruits.Sort( _
    Key1:=Me.Fruits.Columns(1), Order1:=Excel.XlSortOrder.xlAscending, _
    Key2:=Me.Fruits.Columns(2), Order2:=Excel.XlSortOrder.xlAscending, _
    Orientation:=Excel.XlSortOrientation.xlSortColumns, _
    Header:=Excel.XlYesNoGuess.xlNo, _
    SortMethod:=Excel.XlSortMethod.xlPinYin, _
    DataOption1:=Excel.XlSortDataOption.xlSortNormal, _
    DataOption2:=Excel.XlSortDataOption.xlSortNormal, _
    DataOption3:=Excel.XlSortDataOption.xlSortNormal)

    this.Fruits.Sort(
    this.Fruits.Columns[1, missing], Excel.XlSortOrder.xlAscending,
    this.Fruits.Columns[2, missing], missing, Excel.XlSortOrder.xlAscending,
    missing, Excel.XlSortOrder.xlAscending,
    Excel.XlYesNoGuess.xlNo, missing, missing, 
    Excel.XlSortOrientation.xlSortColumns,
    Excel.XlSortMethod.xlPinYin,
    Excel.XlSortDataOption.xlSortNormal,
    Excel.XlSortDataOption.xlSortNormal,
    Excel.XlSortDataOption.xlSortNormal);

Place the following code in Sheet1.vb or Sheet1.cs to sort data in a ListObject control. The code assumes that you have a Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.ListObject control named fruitList in a worksheet named Sheet1.

Sorting Data in an Application-Level Add-In

To sort data in a native range

  • Call the Sort(Object, XlSortOrder, Object, Object, XlSortOrder, Object, XlSortOrder, XlYesNoGuess, Object, Object, XlSortOrientation, XlSortMethod, XlSortDataOption, XlSortDataOption, XlSortDataOption) method of the native Excel Range control. The following example requires a native Excel control named Fruits on a worksheet.

    Dim Fruits As Excel.Range = Me.Application.Range("A1", "B2")
Fruits.Sort( _
    Key1:=Fruits.Columns(1), Order1:=Excel.XlSortOrder.xlAscending, _
    Key2:=Fruits.Columns(2), Order2:=Excel.XlSortOrder.xlAscending, _
    Orientation:=Excel.XlSortOrientation.xlSortColumns, _
    Header:=Excel.XlYesNoGuess.xlNo, _
    SortMethod:=Excel.XlSortMethod.xlPinYin, _
    DataOption1:=Excel.XlSortDataOption.xlSortNormal, _
    DataOption2:=Excel.XlSortDataOption.xlSortNormal, _
    DataOption3:=Excel.XlSortDataOption.xlSortNormal)

    Excel.Range Fruits = Application.get_Range("A1", "B3");
    Fruits.Sort(
    Fruits.Columns[1, missing], Excel.XlSortOrder.xlAscending,
    Fruits.Columns[2, missing], missing, Excel.XlSortOrder.xlAscending,
    missing, Excel.XlSortOrder.xlAscending,
    Excel.XlYesNoGuess.xlNo, missing, missing,
    Excel.XlSortOrientation.xlSortColumns,
    Excel.XlSortMethod.xlPinYin,
    Excel.XlSortDataOption.xlSortNormal,
    Excel.XlSortDataOption.xlSortNormal,
    Excel.XlSortDataOption.xlSortNormal);

To sort data in a ListObject control

  • Call the Sort(Object, XlSortOrder, Object, Object, XlSortOrder, Object, XlSortOrder, XlYesNoGuess, Object, Object, XlSortOrientation, XlSortMethod, XlSortDataOption, XlSortDataOption, XlSortDataOption) method of the Range property of the native Excel ListObject control. The following example assumes that you have a native Excel ListObject control named fruitList in the active worksheet.

    Dim fruitList As Excel.ListObject = CType(Application.ActiveSheet,  _
    Excel.Worksheet).ListObjects.AddEx(Excel.XlListObjectSourceType.xlSrcRange, _
    Application.Range("A1", "B2"))
fruitList.Range.Sort( _
Key1:=fruitList.ListColumns(1).Range, Order1:=Excel.XlSortOrder.xlAscending, _
Key2:=fruitList.ListColumns(2).Range, Order2:=Excel.XlSortOrder.xlAscending, _
Orientation:=Excel.XlSortOrientation.xlSortColumns, _
Header:=Excel.XlYesNoGuess.xlYes)

    Excel.ListObject fruitList = 
     ((Excel.Worksheet)Application.ActiveSheet).
         ListObjects.Add(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlListObjectSourceType.xlSrcRange,
         Application.get_Range("A1", "B3"), 
         missing, Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlYesNoGuess.xlNo, missing); 
    fruitList.Range.Sort(
        fruitList.ListColumns[1].Range, Excel.XlSortOrder.xlAscending,
        fruitList.ListColumns[2].Range, missing, Excel.XlSortOrder.xlAscending,
        missing, Excel.XlSortOrder.xlAscending,
        Excel.XlYesNoGuess.xlYes, missing, missing,
        Excel.XlSortOrientation.xlSortColumns,
        Excel.XlSortMethod.xlPinYin,
        Excel.XlSortDataOption.xlSortNormal,
        Excel.XlSortDataOption.xlSortNormal,
        Excel.XlSortDataOption.xlSortNormal);
