If you a have sheet that is filtered, and hide columns, then sort (via any viewable column), does the hidden columns also sort?

I have a fairly sizable file (12k rows, 37 cols; several columns are for me) that I want to send to a few team members to sort/verify/update their data. I'm concerned if I hide a dozen or so of my columns after they do their thing when I un-hide columns things won't line up; assuming they will sort a couple different ways before returning to me.
 

Excel Facts

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
If the hidden columns are in the range of data being filtered, yes. Or if the range has been converted to a Table, yes.
