Zero Values randomly being replaced by N/A's - no idea what is causing

I have a workbook with lots of sheets and macros. At random times, certain "zero values" are replaced by "N/A" (the string N/A, not the #NA error). I can't find any pattern or reason for why this happens. Only about 1% of zeros are affected - all of them are static values, and none are involved in any macros whatsoever.

Has anyone heard of this before? A colleague suggested the issue may pertain to a broader MSFT error, as opposed to something unique to our workbook.

Fingers crossed for any ideas!

If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Hi MC,

Since the zeros are being replaced with "N/A" instead of #N/A, I suggest starting by doing a find search through any open VBA projects for the string "N/A".

If they were getting replaced by #N/A, there would be a lot more potential causes.

Nailed it - random sort function ran amok. Ty for this brilliantly simple idea.
