Default Formula won't adjust after sorting data

I use 2003 Excel. If I write a formula which works properly with the data
sorted by column A and then sort by a different column it no longer works.
There are two main groups that I need to sort by. Sometimes I need the data
sorted alphabetically (column A) and sometimes I need it sorted by groups
(column G). If I write a formula in cell (J50) while sorted alphabetically
and then sort by groups the formula in cell (J50) might move to cell (J40)
and the data that is referenced by that formula could be scattered anywhere
on the sheet so the formula is no longer relevant. Is there any way to make
the formula adjust to where it will still refer to the same data even if the
data and the formula cells move after being sorted?
