Sorting trouble

[orpheusgrey]

I have an excel sheet with 6 separate ranked charts on it. I am able
to sort 5 of these charts in descending order. Excel will not allow me
to sort the 6th chart in the same way. I keep getting a "This
operation requires the merged cells to be equally sized" message.
Yes, it is the only chart with merged cells on the whole sheet. I did
this because I wanted larger cells in this chart than in the charts
sharing the same rows to its right.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Here is a photo link of the chart, to give you an idea of what I'm
trying to do. The problem is with the "League Leaderboard" chart on
the left.

Forgot to mention that the cells I am trying to sort are all the same
size. Hence my confusion.

Maybe you can unmerge the cells, sort and remerge.

If excel won't let you sort with the merged cells, you're gonna have to find
another way.
