I have a Google spreadsheet that has the A
column as an ID field (incrementing numbers 1…1000; no formula, just numbers). That column is frozen as is the first row of headers.
I sorted by column B
and now am unable to re-sort by column A
again. There is no sort option in the context menus or under the Data menu above.
When I try to View, no columns Frozen I get a message that says that “this is not permitted because it would alter the structure of the table”. Not sure if this is related.

I am going to guess from the presence of an ID field and from the error message that your sheet is linked to a form.
Duplicate the sheet and perform the desired operations on the duplicate.
