Default Sort data whn represeted by formulas

Hey everyone...

I have a simple football tracking spreadsheet that keeps track of 3
players and their winning percentage. It is basically the number of
wins, number of losses, and games back.

Player Wins Losses Games Back
A 33 27 0
B 31 29 2
C 29 31 4

My problem is, the numbers for wins and losses are cell references to
another part of the spreadsheet. Basically, '33' is really =F18, and
'27' is =F19, and so on. The formula I am using to calculate games
back is as follows:

=(((D26+E26)-($D$26+$E$26))*0.5)+($D$26-D26)

However, this formula is dependent on the data to be sorted by always
having the highest number of wins player listed first, hence my sorting
issue. Whenever I sort the data in the grid above, using the row
containing wins as the control, it flips out and does some strange
things... Changing numbers and references.

Any ideas on how to solve this (simple I am sure) problem would be
great. Thanks as always ahead of time!!!
