Default code for sort until cell equals...

Hi -

I have two lists that I'm randomizing by sorting each one with a
column of =rand(). The lists both contain negative and positive words.
If a positive word is in list 1 and a negative in list 2, let's call
that 1pos-2neg. I need to have an even number of 1pos-2pos,
1pos-2neg, 1neg-2pos, and 1neg-2neg.

So I have a countif cell that determines the number of 1pos-2pos I
have and another countif cell that tells me how many 1pos-2neg I have
and so on. Then an "if" formula says all the countif cells have to be
the same and if they are it says "MATCH". Then I just keep sorting
until this cell says "MATCH."

Is there any excel code that basically says "After selecting columns M
and N, keep sorting column N until cell AA22 says "MATCH"?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
