Default how to keep adjacent rows linked when sorting with lists

I want to be able to select "sort ascending" or "sort descending" from the
drop down menu on a list of dates that apply to a name e.g.

list A list B
gary 26/06/06
helen 23/06/06
greg 01/07/07

and have the names linked to the dates rather than just sort the dates as an
individual column.

Select the whole table (2 columns) before you sort on column B

Quick - tip
If you click on a single cell in the table, it will use the *table*
containing that cell
(Need complete data in table, no blank lines, columns etc)
