[mso] Re: Sorting hidden columns with visible columns ?

The problem will be the selected area that is sorted.  The thing to do is to 
make sure that your hidden columns are not at either side of the data that 
is to be sorted, but are instead somewhere inside that area.

If you can't achieve this, then you'll need a way of explicitly selecting 
the whole area that is to be sorted.  This could be done with a named range 
and selecting it with a "go to" F5 before sorting.

Alternatively (and better IMHO) you could place a sort button on the sheet 
and do the selection and sort with VBA.
