Default understanding the .FIND example

I am having difficulty in understanding the .FIND example in the help files.

With Worksheets(1).Range("a1:a500")
Set c = .Find(2, lookin:=xlValues)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
firstAddress = c.Address
Do
c.Value = 5
Set c = .FindNext(c)
Loop While Not c Is Nothing And c.Address < firstAddress
End If
End With

This works fine but in my case I need to do some reordering of rows and then
continue to FINDNEXT. There appears to be a pointer set within the FIND
method which is where the .Findnext(c) starts. My changes mean that the
pointer is set to a row before the found occurrence and thus the .Findnext
repeats
or
at the end of the range the repeat finds a different address for the
c.address from that stored in firstaddress so loops continuously.

Is the pointer addressable, modificable or am I going about it the wrong way?
