Sorting

T

In Excel, I want to sort by a certain column. When I add more to the bottom,
is there a formula to make the NEW entries AUTOMATICALLY add in the correct
place?

Sub Button9_Click()
' Checks for end of list
For a = 1 To 200
If Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & a) = "" Then GoTo 35 Else GoTo 30
30 Next a
' Sets String
35 newString = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("D5") ' New entry
' Checks to see if new entry already exists
For b = 1 To 200
If Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & b) = newString Then GoTo 44 Else GoTo
50
44 Sheets("Sheet1").Range("D5") = "New entry already exists": GoTo 100
50 Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & a) = newString
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("D5") = newString & " has been_ added to list"
' Performs column "A" sort
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Range("A1", "A" & a).Select
For c = Selection.Columns.Count To 1 Step -1
Selection.Sort _
Key1:=Selection.Columns.Item(c), _
Order1:=xlAscending, _
Header:=xlGuess, _
OrderCustom:=1, _
MatchCase:=False, _
Orientation:=xlTopToBottom
Next c
100 End Sub

The above is an extract from something I use in an electronic form
wrote.
Basically it Checks to see how long the existing list is.
Looks at cell D5 for the new addition and calls it newString.
Looks down the list to see if it already exists.
If it does it tells you and ends, if not it adds it to the end of th
list.
It now sorts column A.
My search list is 200 rows long, you can make it as long as you like.

Is this of any help.
