Default can a linked spreadsheets sort automatically when data is added

What you can do is create a macro that performs this function for you and
assign it to a button on your linked worksheet.

Next time you have to update your data, simply record a macro to perform
this and afterwards create a button on your worksheet named sort data and
assign the macro.

I have a linked spreadsheet that I would like to sort automatically. It is
linked to main a spreadsheet that contains the data. Basically, I want the
spreadsheet to have the rows sorted after data has been entered into the main
spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is linked using vlookup.

The linked spreadsheet is a snapshot of the main one and I currently
manually sort it after data is entered in the main. Basically, the linked
spreadsheet shows a ranking (highest to lowest) of total equalizations hours.
Since I update the main spreadsheet throughout the day, I would like the
linked spreadsheet to sort automatically.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
