Secondary Sort

Does anyone know what the code would be to do a secondary sort when exporting to Excel. I want it to first sort by column A and then by column B.

      Set xlSheet = xlApp.Workbooks(1).Worksheets("Sheet1")
      Set range1 = xlsheet.Range("A2: B2000")
      Call range1.Sort(xlsheet.Columns("A"), , , , , , , 1)

Also does anyone know how to get both values on a checkbox to export to a spreadsheet. I have a field which has both items selected but only the first value is exporting.
It should be like this

     Call range1.Sort(xlsheet.Range("A1"), xlsheet.Range("B1"))

No.. you can't ! The checkbox might contain multi values.. but those are selected are the one associated for that doc. You can set another field which lists all the choices and use that to export

Second column is sorted like this:
   Call range1.Sort(xlsheet.Columns("A"), , xlsheet.Columns("B"), , , , , 1)

It is still not sorting by the B column.

As far as the second item, the field can have 2 values, can't it pull both if selected? It is column C, the peripherals field.  

here is all the code

If the Designer does not accept that, then try this:
   Call range1.Sort(xlsheet.Range("A1"), Null, xlsheet.Range("B1"))

Zvonko, that fixed it. Do you know how I can have 2 values from a single checkbox item export to the sheet?
Which one was the fix? The one with the Null?

And for the checkbox Items do as for all other items. All values will be put in the single destination Excel cell.

It was the first  without the Null.

For the second item, can I make another column and have the second value fill their?
Figured out the checkbox feed. THanks for the help.
Thanks for the points.
But why didn't you post your solution about checkboxes?
I assume it is like this:
xlSheet.Cells(x,11).Value = RepDoc.chkBox(0)
xlSheet.Cells(x,12).Value = RepDoc.chkBox(1)

Yes you are right I should have posted it and that is what I did.
Its ok. Thanks for the feedback.
