Default Sort a column of formulas


I imagine that after you did your sort the cells were re-located, then
the formula re-calculated, and if it were the same relative formula in
each cell guess it would look like it didn't sort at all.

You could Copy column B, then Paste Special = Values back over itsself
before the sort.

Hope this helps

Suppose I have ten numbers in cells A1 - A10. In cells B1 - B10, I
have
formulas, each one referring to the neighbor cell in column A.

I want to sort column B ascending without touching column A. For
example,
if the smallest value was in B6, I want the formula in B6--including
its
reference to A6-- to be transferred to B1, etc.

I tried doing this in my Excel 2000 and it did not work. Should it?
If
yes, what could be the problem? If no, is there another way to achieve
the
same result? Thanks.

Thanks.
