Default 'Trick' to restore original sort order after data modified?

If your original data had been sorted, and you knew the conditions of the
sort, you could just repeat them.........but personally, I always do what you
do as soon as I get a new database to fool with.....just add a column and
sequentially number it so I can return to the original sort at any
time.........a macro might help if you do it a lot.

Had large excel file. Sorted to combine like type part #. Updated pricing,
would like to restore back to original list order? Normally insert a new
column and sequentially number. Use this filled sequential field to go back
to original order. Any tool in new excel that replaces the need to do this?
