I'm not disputing that your advice on defining ranges is sound, but it
certainly isn't intuitive to most users.  Everyone whom I have shown this
behaviour to is mystified as to why the autofilter disappears when the sort
dialog appears.  A dialog or some other UI message explaining *why* the
autofilter must be removed seems sensible, and will prevent a lot of
misunderstanding and frustration.

Perhaps a dialog box worded as follows would be appropriate to display when the
user tries to sort an anonymous range when autofilter is enabled:

Warning - Sorting is not possible when AutoFilter is enabled on an anonymous
range.  AutoFilter will be removed.

[ OK ] [ Cancel ]

This at least tells the user *why* the autofilter is about to disappear, and
gives him some clue as to how to apply an autofilter that doesn't conflict with
sorting.
