Default Sort function won't work with copied sum totals

I have a worksheet with 12 columns of names and one row of months. See
example 1. I want to create a running total of the highest accumulated
sales. See example 2.

I copied and pasted the name and sums to a new area of the worksheet and it
worked fine. But when I try to sort into highest to lowest I get all $0.00
instead of actual accumulated totals.

I am an extreme novice when it comes to Excel, as you can see. Any help
would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Julie

With data in the range A1:G7, select B7:G1 then click Data Sort Sort By Row
7 Descending Options Left to Right Ok.
