Default Data sorting problem

One more..............

Did you accidentally select more than one worksheet?

This would also gray-out the DataSort

Did you protect the worksheet? That would caused the Sort option to be greyed
out. To unprotect it, click Tools-Protection-Unprotect Sheet. (I don't have
Excel 2007, so it's possible that Unprotect is in a different location for
you).

Using Excel 2007, I must have accidentally pressed some combination of keys
that I did not intend to, because I can no longer do a data sort. When I
highlight the range of data to be sorted and then click on the Data tab, all
of the commands are greyed out. How can I remove this blockage and sort data
as I was doing quite happily up to this point in time?
