I'm using excel 2002 and I want to add an additional column that counts the
rows.  I have created it and numbered it, but when ever I do a sort, the
numbers get sorted and they are out of order.  Is there a way to keep them
in order while sorting?

Thanks

use the formula =row() instead of hard-coding the number

Just subtract by 1.  So it would look like this: =row()-1
