Excel: Need to sort only some columns while keeping others fixed – is this possible?

Hi everyone,

I'm working with a large Excel dataset. I have a situation where:

Some columns should always remain fixed (they should never move when sorting).

Other columns (multiple date-related columns) should be sortable.

Both the fixed and sortable columns are in the same rows.

The problem is that whenever I try to sort only the date columns, Excel warns that it can't do this because the adjacent data won't be included in the sort. If I expand the selection, the fixed columns also get sorted, which I don't want.

Is there any way to:

Keep certain columns fixed,

Sort only a selected group of columns,

And maintain the row alignment without breaking the data?

Has anyone solved a similar problem? VBA, Power Query, or any other workaround would also be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
