Default Sorting formula cells not same as sort of value cells? Yikes!

Change the formulas to use A$1 and A$2 (or $A$1 and $A$2), and it will work
as you expect.

The way I would accomplish that is by copying =A1 down and doing a
search and replace
A - A$
over the range. While clunkier than copying by value, I like that it
would then be self-maintaining; if the "source" data ever changed
(i.e. column A in my example), I could sort with no additional work.
Excellent suggestion.
