Coding Walkthrough Explanation
Rem 1 is not particularly relevant to the Sort process. This is just getting at the data worksheet containing the spreadsheet range to be sorted.
In this actual example a global variable, is held in the ThisWorkbook code module, ProWb, holding the data workbook as an object. This would usually be filled on opening of the File containing the sort routine. Just in case it may not be filled, a routine is called to fill it. ( For English Excel, the routine would be placed in the ThisWorkbook code module, and referencing this variable would be by ThisWorkbook. FillMeGlobsUpMate in place of the German equivalent in my pre pre alpha Excel 2019 version which has the objects module DieseArbeitsmappe1
Rem 2 concerns determination of the range to be sorted, which in this case is the selection made in the active Window. In the actual example there are many columns and the number is known. The rows can be variable. ( Typical row selections are made in a large table and just those rows are sorted based on a few of the column values )
The Selection is used to obtain the start ( Top ) row, from an available property
objwinToSort.Selection.Row
and the stop ( bottom ) row is , as is often the case in VBA things, not available as a property, but the rows count is , so the typical formula is used to get that of pseudo like Stop = Start + ( RowCount – 1 )
StRow + objwinToSort.Selection.Rows.Count - 1
The column numbers of the range are hardcoded
I prefer to obtain my Range from the Range property method like Range(“A23:ZZ89”), so in order to do this when I use the column numbers, I use a simple function, CL( )
An array is made , ArrrngOrig() , to use as a back up from which to restore the original unsorted range if required later

Rem 3 main sort
A typical example is used , showing the Range.Sort method to sort the range by 3 columns. As main sort this will be having Kcal values of the highest at the top. For similar Kcal values the sort will be by the Fat , again with the larges at the top. In case any rows have the same Kcal and Fat values, then a last sort for those rows is made by highest Natrium at the top. ( Natrium = Sodium , which is a Salt derivative )

'Standard unter    ----    Kcal Highest H  ,at Top               , second most J Fett          , highest at Top      , third Natrium X             ,    most at top
rngToSort.Sort Key1:=wksToSort.Columns("H"), order1:=xlDescending, Key2:=wksToSort.Columns("J"), order2:=xlDescending, Key3:=wksToSort.Columns("X"), order3:=xlDescending

Rem 4 Possible reset of original range order
I would tend to usually include such a coding section as this in any sorting routine. The user has the possibility to accept the sorted range or use the array, ArrrngOrig(), to restore the original range unsorted.

Required Function and routine
In normal code module

Function CL(ByVal lclm As Long) As String 'Using chr function and Do while loop      For example http://www.excelforum.com/excel-programming-vba-macros/796472-how-to-go-from-column-number-to-column-letter.html
'Dim rest As Long 'Variable for what is "left over" after subtracting as many full 26's as possible
    Do
    '    Let rest = ((lclm - 1) Mod 26) 'Gives 0 to 25 for Column Number "Left over" 1 to 26. Better than ( lclm Mod 26 ) which gives 1 to 25 for clm 1 to 25 then 0 for 26
    '    Let FukOutChrWithDoWhile = Chr(65 + rest) & FukOutChrWithDoWhile 'Convert rest to Chr Number, initially with full number so the "units" (0-25), then number of 26's left over (if the number was so big to give any amount of 26's in it, then number of 26's in the 26's left over (if the number was so big to give any amount of 26 x 26's in it, Enit ?
    '    'OR
    Let CL = Chr(65 + (((lclm - 1) Mod 26))) & CL
    Let lclm = (lclm - (1)) \ 26 'This gives the number of 26's ( if any ), but just the excact part, in the next number down , - so applying the rest formula to this new number will again leave a difference "left over" rest.
    'lclm = (lclm - (rest + 1)) \ 26 ' As the number is effectively truncated here, any number from 1 to (rest +1)  will do in the formula
    Loop While lclm > 0 'Only loop further if number was big enough to still have 0-25's in it
End Function
