I modified a works spreadsheet by sorting colum one to alpabetize, I forgot to sort the other colums. I now have a useless woksheet as nothing matches. Is there anyway to recover the previous worksheet, I did not make a backup before saving

You may be wasting time, but if the program wrote the 2nd copy then deleted the first, a behind the scenes procedure, not something you did, then the old copy is technically still out there just not in the directory.
You could try something like NTFSundelete. google it.
But only if you have an undelete. And obviously the more you use the system to send these messages etc the more likely you are to use that free drive space for some file and totally lose it.
If you don't have NTFS you might google for other undelete programs.
But its an outside chance. Way outside.
