I occasionally have to re-sort my Excel file data by a different column and
then back to Last name. Every time, my headings sort with the other data and
it's a hassel getting the row back at the frozen top.
Is there a setting to keep the top row from sorting with the rest?

Yes.

In the Sort dialog, there is a choice: My data range has Header row/No header row

Generally it helps to have the titles formatted differently.

i.e. Bold or Centered or similar.

Then make sure under DataSortMy Date Range Has "header row" checked.

Save the workbook and the setting should stick.
