I keep doing this which will have the effect of putting the smallest in the current rOuter. By the this and all next rOuter, I miss out the last, and any previous, which means I effectively do the same which puts the next smallest in this next rOuter.
If UCase(CStr(arrOut(rOuter, Clm))) > UCase(CStr(arrOut(rInner, Clm))) Then
Dim Temp As Variant ' I want to Swap those 2 above - I cant easilly in any coding change two values simulataneosly. So one of them Element values will put in this temporary place. This Element Values will then be given the other. Finally the other Element will be given this temporary value

Rem 2 Output for easy of demo
RngToSort.Offset(0, RngToSort.Columns.Count).Clear ' WsS.Columns("C:D").Clear ' CHANGE TO SUIT
Let RngToSort.Offset(0, RngToSort.Columns.Count).Value = arrOut
Let RngToSort.Offset(0, RngToSort.Columns.Count).Interior.Color = vbYellow

' Approximate equivalent to the above routune, using VBA Range.Sort Method ' https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/office/vba/api/excel.range.sort
Sub Range_Sort()
Rem 0 test data, worksheets info
Dim WsS As Worksheet: Set WsS = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sorting")
Dim RngToSort As range: Set RngToSort = WsS.range("A2:B9")
' alternative:

Rem 1 For demo purposes we will sort a copy of the range
RngToSort.Offset(0, RngToSort.Columns.Count * 2).Clear ' WsS.Columns("E:F").Clear ' CHANGE TO SUIT
RngToSort.Copy Destination:=RngToSort.Offset(0, RngToSort.Columns.Count * 2)
Dim RngCopy As range: Set RngCopy = RngToSort.Offset(0, RngToSort.Columns.Count * 2)
RngCopy.Sort Key1:=RngCopy.Columns("A:A"), Order1:=xlAscending, MatchCase:=False
'
Let RngCopy.Interior.Color = vbGreen
End Sub
Typical results:
The sorted array is displayed in the spreadsheet along side the original range used as test data for the inputted array. ( The yellow highlighted range is that produced by the array sort routine, Sub SimpleArraySort() , and the green highlighted range is that produced by the VBA Range.Sort method routine, Sub Range_Sort()
