Rather than having to select a range then clicking to sort, is there a formula that would sort a column as the calculations are done?

Save Often
If you start asking yourself if now is a good time to save your Excel workbook, the answer is Yes
So, no way to just do in a formula rather than macro, I guess?

You guess correct. A formula can't make physical changes to a worksheet, it can only return a result. In this case VBA is your only option, but once you get the hang of it you'll wonder how you ever did without it. :)

You can do the equivalent of sorting with formulas, it just takes a lot of them. How many rows do you need to sort?

Please describe your data, layout, and desired results, so we don't have to guess or ask 20 questions.
