Sort excel sheet from VB-5

Does anyone have the format to sort an excel sheet from VB ? I add data to an existing sheet using the object ACTIVECASE, etc... example: ACTIVECASE.CELLS(6,20)="Y". I update the F column (Payment received) thru VB. I understand there is a SORT where I can specify ACTIVECASE.SORT... but I don't know the full speification for sort range, sort columns, nor accesding/descending, etc. I have a header row so I assume my range would be A2:G10000 using A1 as the first sort key (name), D1 (date) as the second key, and E1 (staff) as the third key.

Currently in VB, I have command-1 where the user updates specific name/payments. This updates the ACTIVECASE excel sheet. I then go into excel, sort the sheet by name/date/staff member, then go back into my VB form and do command-3 that figures the payments, etc. It would be nice if I could have command-2 button that sorts the excel sheet without having to exit VB

Thanx

Found it on another site. Thanx anyway. It is actually very easy...

activecase.range("A2:Z5000").Sort key1:=activecase.range("a2"), key2:=activecase.range("d2"), key3:=activecase.range("e2")
