Default How to sort without including column headings in sort

I can't find the answer either online or in Excel help probably because I'm
not using correct terms. The first row contains column titles, and when I
sort the columns these titles get sorted to. Can I somehow anchor or
designate the text in these cells to remain fixed?

I should say I'm using Excel 2002.

Don't know what version of Excel you are using but in Excel 2000 when you
select your columns and then click Data - Sort, the Sort dialog box has a
radio button at the bottom to say whether your columns have a header row or
not.

Try formatting the headers differently, like Bold. Excel will probably
recognize them then as headers
