filtering by color in a shared workbook in Excel 2007

I have a worksheet that when shared I can no  longer sort or filter by color.  I have tried this when there is  no one else in the file and receive the same results.  As soon as I unshare the option to sort and filter by color is back.

Is this just the way it works or am I missing something.

You may have reached the limits of Excel with that use.  It will require a VBA script to run it by color being used a shared worksheet.

Otherwise, I trust you have looked through these already and have found the 'how' to filter...it just is a problem with the shared part, correct?
