So I highlighted the columns I want to specifically sort (ex. cols B - G) and
when I click DATA and then choose SORT, it also highlighted column A for me.
I do not want column A to be sorted along with columns B - G. I cannot
change the highlighted parts unless I cancel the sorting window. What am I
doing wrong and what can I do to fix this?

Additional info: I'm working on a shared workbook
