Sorting data using VBA: Using the SORT worksheet function The SORT worksheet function: Sorting two-dimensional arrays:
The SORT worksheet function is suitable for sorting two-dimensional arrays very fast.
The SORT worksheet function is a stable sort method, items with equal sort keys are returned in the same order in the sorted result as they had before being sorted.

The SORT worksheet function requires a range/array wihtout a header row, the procedure below supports arrays that has a header row.
The procedure below will return the sorted array in the same order as the worksheet sort functionality, some sort methods might sort text in a different order depending on the country settings.

Sub Array_Sort(varArray As Variant, varSortCol As Variant, Optional blnHasHeaderRow As Boolean = False, Optional blnSortAscending As Boolean = True)
' updated 2023-06-03 by OPE
' varArray must be a two-dimensional array with or without header row, use the .Value2 property when population the array from a worksheet range with date values
' varSortCol can be a single column number a one-dimensional array with column numbers
' if blnHasHeaderRow = True then varSortCol can be a single column number or caption or a one-dimensional array with column numbers or captions
' uses the SORT worksheet function to sort the array content
' example use:
' Array_Sort varArray, "Amount", True ' sort array with a header row in ascending order based on content in column Amount
' Array_Sort varArray, "Amount", True, False ' sort array with a header row in descending order based on content in column Amount
' Array_Sort varArray, Array("Company", "Department", "Fullname"), True ' sort array with a header row in ascending order based on content in columns Company, Department, Fullname
' Array_Sort varArray, Array(4, 5, "Fullname"), True ' sort array with a header row in ascending order based on content in columns 4, 5, Fullname
'
' Array_Sort varArray, 1, False ' sort array without a header row in ascending order based on content in column 1
' Array_Sort varArray, 4, False, False ' sort array without a header row in descending order based on content in column 4
' Array_Sort varArray, Array(4, 5, 1), False ' sort array without a header row in ascending order based on content in column 4, 5 and 1

• Sorting two-dimensional arrays: SORT worksheet function
• Sorting a worksheet range: RangeSort
• Sorting a worksheet table: TableSort
• Sorting small arrays (<= 1000 items): BubbleSort
• Sorting a large one-dimensional array (> 1000 items): QuickSort (might use a lot of memory)
• Sorting a large one-dimensional array (> 1000 items): ShellSort (uses less memory than QuickSort)
• Sorting a large two-dimensional array (> 1000 items): MergeSort
