Hello,
Is there a way to use VBA to define "Sort by Column" in the data model (e.g. month name by month number)?

Thanks,
Matthias

Hi Matthias,

There's little control of the data model from VBA, mostly because data modelling is not a simple process.

If you go to Object Browser in vba, (F2 shortcut from VB Editor), the Model object is the object you are looking for.

I checked all child objects, but there is no sort method on ModelTable or ModelTableColumn objects:

Hi Catalin,

thanks for the efforts! And that is a marveous idea to check the Object Browser. For data modelling there is almost nothing to find with Google.
So the Object Browser is a great way to check out if there is anything available!

Thanks again,
Matthias
