Quick answer
Find merged cells inside the intended sort range before rearranging data. A report layout with merged headings is not always suitable as a sortable table.
Understand the issue
Keep a copy of the sheet. Unmerging a visual group does not automatically fill every resulting row with the correct category value. Check how each record should be represented before sorting so names, amounts and labels stay together.
Step-by-step checks
- Identify merged cells in the sort range.
- Prepare an unmerged data table with one complete record per row.
- Sort a copy and compare several full records with the source.

Keep a presentation layout separate from a clean data table when merging is only for appearance.
