I don't have experience, so can't give a definitive answer.

However, absent any other response, I'll just say that I tried 
something similar - dummy spreadsheet with two columns, some numbers 
and a couple of cell-anchored pictures, & offer the following 
observations:

* Pictures seem anchored to the cell on the page - as opposed to some 
notional cell that gets moved around when sorting. Thus I saw numbers 
rearranged, but the pictures fixed at the original grid position, 
when I sorted the columns - it implies to me that a sort moves data 
around between cells, rather than "moving the cells". If you see what 
I mean; not intuitive.

* Pictures seemed to go away when their cell was deleted by deleting 
the column, and seem to move with the cell when rows or columns are 
inserted. Much as expected.

I rather get the impression you want the pictures to be anchored to 
the /text/ not the /cell/, so they move with the data - correct? If 
so, you would seem out of luck :-(
