What type of formatting are you talking about?

Assuming a list of months in column A......January through December with every
third month bold.

Sort alphabetically and the bold months remain bold as they move around.

I guess it would be the cell formatting as opposed to the text formatting;
i.e. shading and borders. I see that the text formatting does hold when
sorting. There are several field types i am sorting; date and time fields
and regular text fields. thank you.
