All three sorts are done on the entire columns (all the way down to the very
very bottom of the spreadsheet). When I select the column, all I'm doing is
clicking on the column headings (the "A" and the "B"). This way, if extra
words were to be later added to the columns, the macro would still work
correctly. Otherwise, if items are added later to the columns, the macro
would have to also be changed.
If you sort each pair of columns the same way (but manually) empty cells do
not appear. Why does the macro cause this to happen if theoretically it is
supposed to do exactly the same thing that I'm doing while recording the
macro? Something isn't working right in the software.

And please remember, when recording the macro I sorted columns A & B, THEN
C & D, THEN E & F. These sorts have to be done separately in order to
produce a completely random sentence at the bottom. However, when using
the macro, the Television is always Red and Small. This is not supposed
to be the case. If the three pairs are sorted separately, then sometimes
the Television might be Blue and Expensive for example.
Using the last file you sent I do not see the same, "The Television is
always Red and Small". The words are changing. I only see that some of
the cells in the first four columns are empty and if one of those cells
happens to be in the 2nd row then the sentence has a blank space where
the word should be.
Are all the sorts done on the full 20 rows?
I redid the recorded macro sorting in pairs, A&B, C&D and E&F with the
full 20 rows and do not see any problem with the sorting.
Still working on it.
