Presumably, it doesn't work because the machine tabs are just a bunch of
formulae referring to the master tab.

That's the way it works I am afraid, you sort the cell contents, not
necessarily what you see.

I have a workbook and I have a master tab and then a have a bunch of
machine
tab. When an order is entered on the master tab it is automatically moved
to
the appropriate machine tab. I am trying to sort of the machine tab and
it
won't let me but when I sort on the master tab it works and then my
machine
tab is also sorted. I need to be able to sort on my machine tabs. Can
anyone
help?

Thanks!
