Default Pivot Tables and VLOOKUP

I have set up a pivot table to sort similar items of a sheet that constantly
grows and then I enter information next to the pivot table and that
information if returned to sheet 1 using VLOOKUP. My problem is if I change
something after I've already entered the data next to the pivot table, the
sort it had previously changed and the data next to the pivot table is not
correct. I use office 2003. Is there a better way at doing this?

Default Pivot Tables and VLOOKUP

Where is the source data for the pivot table?
Maybe you could enter the information in a column there, and use Vlookup
on that table.
