--- Comment #11 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
OK, now I can appreciate the issue.

Issue is the selection being filtered and sorted. Missed it because the default
sort applies to occupied rows of cells on the entire sheet, including the row
of column labels that holds the AutoFilter buttons. It works correctly if the
entire table is selected for sort. 

But, if using AutoFilter to hide rows, if a sort is then applied against only
selected rows that are showing, the rows hidden by AutoFilter action stay
hidden but during the sort the AutoFilter button for each colunm is turned off
including the marker (blue) identifying which columns AutoFilter has been
applied.

Losing that filter state, while rows/columns are still hidden, can not be
recovered.  So you must re-enable the AutoFilter and select the All check box
on any column to bring up all records and get back to a known state with all
records (post sort) showing. 

The hidden data is sorted, as the sort applies to the entire selected range
including rows that are hidden, but with AutoFilter state details being
cleared--you can not selectively expose the hidden rows. Disruptive of works
flows.

That is what is wrong, losing the state of the applied AutoFilter(s). Rather it
should be retained and restored for use after the sort operation completes.

Confirming and setting to NEW.
