Thanks,

Macro looks like a good way to go, but I was hoping to find a non-macro way.
So far, haven't found.

What's really baffling is that I've pulled up some old spreadsheets, and the
sort is exacltly like I want upon opening the file (let's say it's sort on
1st-ColumnB, 2nd-ColumnA, 3rd, ColumnG.

But spreadsheets created more recently (past year or 2 or 3) don't "hold"
the sort...even if you save the file. Once you exit and then re-open, it
flops back to some default like blank spaces for the sort fields.

Still looking,
George
