Is there anyway to sort a table without sorting the cell formats?

I have a table where each line is an alternating shade so its easier to read, but when I sort, it sorts the colors too, so they're no longer alternating.

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
Use Conditional formatting based on the row number to shade your rows.

These formulas can be used with conditional formatting to shade alternate rows.

=MOD(ROW()-Rw,N*2)+1<=N This is for odd banding

=MOD(ROW()-Rw,N*2)+1>=N This is for even banding

Rw = Starting Row Number

N = Number of rows in each band
