Sorting will not work

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hello,

Newbie here. Hello to all.

This is my issue.

I try to sort and I receive this message:

"The operation requires the merged cells to be identically sized."

How do I fix this?

Do I unmerge all the merged cells to see if they are identically sized;
then somehow redesign my Excel list?

I look forward to the answer(s).
