The contents of each row of my talbe *may* apply to more than one area, so
I've split that cell and put a code for each of the appropriate areas into

"merged cells". Any suggestions?

Thanks!


The error message is misleading because it's incomplete. It should say
"Cannot sort a table containing merged or split cells".

As long as your table contains *any* cells that are merged or split
vertically, the sort command won't work. You'll have to merge the
split cells back together, do the sort, and then re-split them.
