Yes, the cells were manually formatted with different colors and I am trying
to preserve the color of the rows during a sort. Other than autoformatting
my spreadsheet, is there anyway I can preserve the color of each row and do a
sort? Thank you so much!! This is very helpful!!

Yes it does if you have manually formatted the rows'/cells' colors.

What has prompted this question?

Are you trying to preserve an alternately-colored set of rows while sorting?

the cells "follow" when you do a sort?
