Ok, I'll bite. As far as I know, with manual sorts, Excel always operates
on the current selection or an expansion of the current selection. I do not
believe Excel retains any memory of the last range sorted. Maybe you can
elaborate on exactly what you're seeing, say an example that we could
recreate.
