Default Disable column only sorting in Excel

We get Excel files from others where a novice user has highlighted a whole
column and sorted it not knowing that it does not also sort the other
columns. (exp. sort a date of birth column as described and the correct
date of birth is no longer associated with the person's name). Is there a
way to disable this type of column sort or create a pop-up warning? I
cannot think of a reason this type of sort function is even in Excel. It
can create serious data problems.
