Data Sort

I have five columns, Col A has a list of eight names, col B, C, D, E has numbers and in the last col is the total of B, C...etc. How can I have an auto sort while entering numbers in col b,c, etc. (without using the data sort function) What I am trying to do is to tally votes as we enter the information.

JM,

An event macro could sort it. You'd have to decide what conditions should
initiate the sort (moving to the next row, etc).

This may confound a user if the sort happens unexpectedly, because the
record just entered will suddenly be who-knows-where. Overactive software
can confuse and frustrate users.

How about a macro that sorts the table, and is initiated manually, perhaps
with a button, toolbar button, keyboard shortcut, etc?
