I had the same problem as this individual but I did not have blank rows where it stopped sorting the records. It was just the point at which I started using OpenOffice to add new rows, these new rows would not filter with the autofilter. I even tried selecting the range of cells I wanted filtered, then clicked auto-filter, and still the new rows did not filter properly. Any suggestions? Thank you,

The autofilter is "intelligent" in that unless you select the required data to be worked on, it will choose the first non-contiguous block. That is, it will choose the data from the first row down to the first blank row. If you have data below that blank row, you need to select it to be filtered. Alternatively, you should try the standard filter.
