Michael, I for one am puzzled as to what you sorted.  Was this a point,
polygon, line attribute table?  Or some .csv layer?  Or...?

And how did you sort it?  Opened it in the attribute table editor and
clicked on columns?  If so, as far as I know, sorting in this editor is
just for convenience in reviewing data.  The physical data order is
determined by the link to the spatial features.

Maybe you could also tell us what you're trying to achieve by sorting?
