Default Sorting/Locking Header

And *NEVER* use the sort icons on the toolbar!

Are you *manually* selecting the *entire* datalist that you want to sort,
OR
Are you just clicking a cell in the list and allowing XL to make the
selection for you by clicking one of the "Sort" icons on the toolbar?

I suggest that you *always* manually select your datalist prior to

starting
a sort.

I've done all that. I have everchanging data. When I select sort, the
header sorts with it. I don't want the header row to move.

Then try center and underline also.

Excel recognizes a header row if it has different formatting like

I want
the header row to be locked. I've used the excel help where it

says
to click
Data, Sort, then My Data has Header Row. I then click ok. But,

then it
defaults back to No Header Row. How do I make it stick? Or is

there
something I need to do in order to do so.
