Default Trying to use the INDIRECT funtion with a relative Row reference

I have a worksheet where I have rows of information. Each row is made up of
several columns of information. I am constantly updating the information by
inserting cells and moving the old cell to the right. I am trying to use the
INDIRECT function to reference the "G" column but I need the row number to be
relative because I sort the worksheet based on the information I get back.
INDIRECT works great until I sort then it is still refering to the row where
the information WAS at. . .not where it is NOW. I hope this makes sense and
any help would be greatly appreciated.

That has nothing to do with relative references.
If you change the position of an indirectly addresses cell, you will have to
re-evaluate its position in the INDIRECT argument.
