Default Sorting Objects with the rest of the cells

Hi,

I have a spread sheet that contains links to files on each row. These
objects have been inserted in and link to a specific file that is related to
that row, however when I sort my columns the objects do not sort with
everything else. Bascially after i sort, say alphabeticlly, the object is
still in the same place even though what it relates to has moved. Can anyone
please help!

Thanks

The object must reside entirely within the boundries of a cell to sort. Also
it must be formatted to move with the cells. What type of object are you
using?

THANK YOU!! That worked perfectly. I was linking word docs to accounts. I
used an icon to represent the file but I did not have the cell big enough.
Once I adjusted the size of the cell the data sort perfectly.

Thanks again!!
