i need to link numerous pairs of rows in my spreadsheet so they stay
connected when i sort. when i try to do this by "group"ing, if i have 2 sets
of 2 that are grouped and live right next to one another, the 'group'
function automatically groups them all together. so instead of 2 separate
groups of 2 i get one group of 4. this is not helpful.

how can i 1) avoid this auto-grouping problem and maintain separate groups
side by side? or 2) is there a better way to do this?

thank you!
