Actually - I did have a column blank !! I was using it as a working column
to identify needed changes & it was currently blank. I removed that column &
now it sorts fine.

I guess MS did this to make it fast....I didn't know this. Learned
something today !!

The software should sort the entire page. Is it normal for this problem - I
don't know what is causing it but Excel is limiting the columns to A through
L. Also if you use the AZ quick sort button it does the same. It doesn't
work properly. I thought it was something with my sheet....

Any blank rows or columns?

I have found over the years and several versions of Excel to not let Excel
guess the range,

Select all columns to be sorted before hitting the Sort button.

Something has happened to my file that causes Excel 2007 to select PART of my
file when I sort. I've looked at everything & can't figure why it's doing
this. When I click sort - I want the whole sheet sorted.

No fields or columns are hidden.

If I work fast I risk getting my info all srewed up ....
