    Final Main recursion Array sort using multi columns routine below

    Code:
    '
    ' Main recursion routine below : Bubble Sorting in Arrays using multi columns values for sort criteria
    Sub SimpleArraySort6(ByVal CpyNo As Long, ByRef arsRef() As Variant, ByVal strRws As String, ByVal strKeys As String)
    Dim CopyNo As Long: Let CopyNo = CpyNo ' On every recurssion run this will be increased by the Rec Call. This will be a local variable indicating the level down in recursion - I increase it by 1 at every Rec Call, that is to say each Rec Call gets given CopyNo+1  -  during a long tunnel down, the number at this pint will keep increasing to reflect how far down we are
        If CopyNo = 1 Then Debug.Print "First procedure Call"
    Rem -1 from the supplied  arguments, get all data needed in current bubble sort
    ' Column for this level sort , and Ascending or Descending - both determined from the supplied forth arguments and the column/ copy number
    Dim Keys() As String: Let Keys() = Split(Replace(Trim(strKeys), "  ", " ", 1, -1, vbBinaryCompare), " ", -1, vbBinaryCompare) ''      The extra replace allows for me seperating with one or two spaces  - the following would do if I only used one space always    Split(Trim(strKeys), " ", -1, vbBinaryCompare) ' this will be an array twice as big as the number of keys that we have
        If (2 * CopyNo) > UBound(Keys()) + 1 Then MsgBox Prompt:="You need more than " & (UBound(Keys()) + 1) / 2 & " keys to complete sort": Exit Sub ' case we have less keys then we need to sort, are array has twice as many elements as we have supplied keys since we have a key and whether it needs to get bigger or smaller , and array is from  0   so must add 1 to ubound then half it get the key number we gave.  We come here if the last column we gave as a Key had duplicates in it
    Dim GlLl As Long: If Keys((CopyNo * 2) - 1) = "Desc" Then Let GlLl = 1 ' (CopyNo * 2) - 1)  gives as we go down levels   1  3  5  7 etc  We're seeing if we had  Desc  for this column
    Dim Clm As Long: Let Clm = CLng(Keys((CopyNo * 2) - 2)) '              ' (CopyNo * 2) - 2)  gives as we go down levels   0  2  4  6 etc  We  are  picking  out  the  supplied   column to sort by for each level
    ' making an array from the " 3 4 5 6 " string is just for convenience later of getting the upper and lower row numbers
    Dim Rws() As String: Let Rws() = Split(Trim(strRws), " ", -1, vbBinaryCompare) ' We take the supplied sequential string   2 3 4 5 6   and make a 1 D array {1, 2, 3....} as it is a bit more conveniant to work with.

    Clear Windows ClIpboard

    Code in support of this Thread
    http://www.excelfox.com/forum/showth...ll=1#post11018

    In simple terms this clears the Windows Clipboard.
    More likely there is an awful lot more to it than that, so I may come back here with a much larger offering in the future.... _
    _.. the various Microsoft Clipboards and the versions of copies that hey hold have a spaghetti of interdependencies that anyone has long since given up trying to understand**. Sadly it will probably be left to some later form of artificial intelligence to understand.. and use effectively… against us…. … you are experiencing a car accident…. The hell I am…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhAFWW-p7PQ......







    Code:
    #If VBA7 Then
        Private Declare PtrSafe Function OpenClipboard Lib "User32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
        Private Declare PtrSafe Function EmptyClipboard Lib "User32" () As Long
        Private Declare PtrSafe Function CloseClipboard Lib "User32" () As Long
    #Else
        Private Declare Function OpenClipboard Lib "User32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
        Private Declare Function EmptyClipboard Lib "User32" () As Long
        Private Declare Function CloseClipboard Lib "User32" () As Long
    #End If
    
    Public Function ClearWindowsClipboard()
        If OpenClipboard(0&) Then
            EmptyClipboard
            CloseClipboard
        Else
            MsgBox "OpenClipboard failed"
        End If
    End Function
    
    Sub Test()
        Call ClearWindowsClipboard
    End Sub
