Default hyperlinks change when sorting

I have a column of hyperlinks on my worksheet. When I sort my data, the NAME
of the hyperlink sorts, but not the actual link attached. What can I do?

Default hyperlinks change when sorting

This is a "feature" of Excel. The hyperlinks apply to the cells themselves -
not their contents. Therefore, when you sort, the values get sorted but the
links stay put.
Microsoft REALLY needs to fix this. It's annoying, unintuitive, and,
frankly, WRONG behavior.
