Sort in Excel

I have 6 columns, and variable number of rows.

I want to sort the rows in ascending alphabetical order accornding to the values in column E.

I made the keys the following way

key1 = "A" & intUpperSort
key2 = "A" & intUpperSort + intRowSortRange - 2
key3 = "E" & intUpperSort + intRowSortRange - 2

the cells in the three keys' range are the ones i want sorted, according to the alph vals of E.

thx
