How do you lock, link, or associate a single row of data so it stays together during a sort on another worksheet?

I have a spreadsheet in which Worksheet 1 is a master list of names andgroup assignments. Worksheet 2 sorts these names into the respective groups. Worksheets 3 and 4 are group specific worksheets, pulling the sorted group lists from worksheet 2 into column A. Attendance Data for each individual is also stored in worksheets 3 and 4. The issue I am having is that as new names are added to the master sheet and sorted alphabetically, they resort alphabetically on worksheets 3 and 4(which is intended); however, the attendance data does not follow the name as it is resorted. What I am wondering is there a way to lock, link, or associate rows of data together so that as new members are added and the main worksheet is resorted, the attendance data on worksheets 3 and 4 follow the name during the sort on the main worksheet. Any help is greatly appreciated as a workaround has stumped me for over a month.

i think somewhere along the way you have selected only one column for sorting data.
Can you let us know exactly how is the data in 3rd and 4th worksheet being updated.
In case of sorting, make sure that all table columns are selected. This way row wise data will be maintained.

The names in Column A on worksheets 3 and 4 are automatically sorted based on the order of the names on worksheet1. In essence, they are dependent upon the order of the names in Worksheet1. Thus, when Worksheet1 is resorted alphebetically after new names are added, the order of the names on Worksheets 3 and 4 are automatically updated, alphabetically. This is intended. The problem is that the attendance data entered in worksheets 3 and 4, columns H through ....., do not remain associated with the correct name (in column A).
