How are the coloured lines coloured? If by Condiutional Formatting what is
the formula you are using?

Use Conditional Formatting to color-band the rows.

Select a bunch of rows or range of cells and FormatCFFormula is:

=MOD(SUBTOTAL(3,$A1:$A$2),2)=0

Pick a nice color and OK

The banding will hold through filtering and sorting.
