Default Strange behavior for AutoFilter


Using the AutoFilter buttons to sort records, I found that some of the
columns were not included in the sort. That was disasterous!

That is, when I sorted on a column to the right of "D", all the columns
to the right of "C" would be included, but columns A, B, and C would not
be included. Same thing, if I sorted column A, then columns B and C
would be included, but not anything to the right of C.

I had inserted columns B and C, and they did not have anything in the
column heading row. So, I added column headings and voila!, everything
stays together now. All columns are included in the sort, no matter
which column is being sorted on.

Then, I found other workbooks that were structured exactly the same,
had no column headings in B and C, but the sorts included all columns,
anyway.

Is this an Excel bug or am I missing something?
