Table Sorting -- Cross-Reference Markers Disappear

[Lin Surasky]

Hi all-
 
I'm told this is a long-standing problem, but I'm hoping there's a
workaround. A coworker has two tables in a document. One table contains
text that cross-references the content in the other table. When the
target table is sorted, all the x-ref markers disappear and the
cross-references to the target table no longer work. When the source
table is sorted, no problems.
 
Any ideas on how to make this work, other than to sort all final content
first and then insert x-refs? ;-)
 
Thanks
