I use a helper column of cells.

Insert a new column A.
Fill each cell in that column with a formula
=row()
convert those formulas to values
Select the range, then edit|copy followed by edit|paste special|values.

Then sort the data as much as you want (include all the columns).
Make your changes.
And resort the data by that helper column.
Then delete the helper column.

I sorted my nearly 7,000 entries to add a detail in one column and saved the
addition. How do I return to the original data-entry order and keep that as
the default order?
