How 2 sort an autosum total list after adding items 2 autosum item

Am using detail dollar amount list to insert new transactions in the middle
of a the detail list, and they in turn get included in the 'autosum' total
calc which is located in another item total summary list in the same workbook.

If we try to sort the autosum total summary list, the autosum totals seem to
loose their connection with the detail autosum calc list.

Is there anyway to keep this connection, ie be able to add items into the
detail autosum calc lists, and then sort the autosum summary totals ?
