    hi.
    you may play around with this

    [VBA]
    Sub Find_Sort()

    Dim CellFound As Range, rng2sort As Range
    Dim StrFind As String
    Dim ColFound As Long


    With ActiveSheet 'change to suit
    On Error Resume Next

    StrFind = "Weekend" 'change to suit

    Set CellFound = .Cells.Find(What:=StrFind, After:=.Cells(1, 1), LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:= _
    xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)

    On Error GoTo 0

    If Not CellFound Is Nothing Then
    ColFound = CellFound.Column
    Set rng2sort = CellFound.CurrentRegion
    End If

    rng2sort.Sort key1:=Columns(ColFound), order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlYes
    End With

    End Sub
    [/VBA]
