I have been having problems sorting data recently. Highlighting one column and sorting was only sorting that column and not all the other ones. It seems the problem occurs when one of the comuns is blank. Putting a dummy cell entry, such as zz, into each empty column seems to solve the problem. Something Microsoft need to fix for their next version of Excel.
you must select all columns in range ,then sort by your desired column
excel detects if stuff is in the next column if it's blank it will quite happily sort by the ones selected. if it has entries it will warn you to expand selection, this is true of all excell versions not just 2007

I see. Got it now. I have been relying on the "Expand the selection" box to all my sorting. Highlighting all the columns and then choosing the sort column is obviously the right way to do it. Thanks.
