Your headings probably have merged cells.
You can either... - take the merge off the cells (FORMAT CELLS ALIGNMENT click off the 'Merge Cells' checkbox) or - do your sort without the headings rows (DATA SORT click on 'No Header Row'). -- Hope this helps. If it does, please click the Yes button. Thanks in advance for your feedback. Gary Brown "Lori" wrote: I did not create the worksheet, but need to sort the data.
