Default Maintaining link when data is sorted

I have a worksheet that links to data in a table. When the table is
sorted the links to the spreadsheet do not update for the change in
location of data in the table. Any ideas how to maintain the
reference to data in the table?

Use a VLOOKUP formula instead of a direct link.
