Default Locking all cells accross when sorting columns

Hi

Is there any way of locking all cells next to each other accross so that the
document can only be ssorted via columns?

I want to use Excel as a DVD database whereby all the information of a
particualr DVD is stored as fields accross the documnet i.e. title, genre,
year, number.

If I wanted to sort my database for example by genre, I could hightlight
that field's column and then click on the chronological sort icons.
Unfortunately, if the cells accross aren't locked then this would be useless
as a DVD's fields would no longer relate to each other.

I know it is possible to lock 2 fields (columns) together and then sort them
by whichever was highlighted first.

Thanks for your attention and any advice you can give me.

David
