Oh, PLEASE. My question is too mundane?

[Wendy Robinson]

I asked a question about a half hour ago, to which I've received no replies and a single view. Questions posted after mine have gotten lots of attention. Is there a "question sexiness" thing going on? My problem is getting an error message that prevents me from SORTing: "This operation requires that merged cells be of identical size."

PLEASE HELP. I'll send you a beautiful blue ribbon for your trouble.

If you click on Help in the error message dialog box you get:
"The cell range that you attempted to sort or remove duplicates from includes merged cells. However not all cells in the range are merged to the same size.
To complete this operation, unmerge all the merged cells in the range, or make each group of merged cells the same size as the largest group."
