Hi all,

I have a Perl app that generates a spreadsheet in Excell using OLE.

I have done quite a lot of interesting things including adding charts etc, but have become stuck tring to sort data on a worksheet.

Here is what I have been playing with;

    my $start = $offset[$k] + $vert_offset;
    my $end = $offset[$k + 1] + ($vert_offset - 2);

    # Sort data ready for charting

    $sheet4->Rows("$start:$end")->Sort("F5");

This is supposed to sort all of the rows selected using column F5 as the sort column.

It appears to do nothing!

I have looked at the object browser and used the VBA macro which generated this;

# sort rows
Rows("5:58").Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("F5"), Order1:=2, Header:=2,
    OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=1,
    DataOption1:=0

I cannot work out how to implement this!

Any clues would be great :)
