Default How to sort merged cells

I created a spreadsheet with a few merged cells. i would like to sort them,
by any colum, but i get an error saying operation requires merged cells to be
identically sized. What should i do so i can sort how i want...

Frankly stay away from merged cells unless yoiu are using them for headers,
they will always cause problems especially when it comes to sorting or copy
and pasting. I have not used merged cells for several years and I have
notsuffer from it, quite the contrary. You can get similar design using
formatalignment center across selection. There is no way you can sort
merged and non merged cells together
