CharlotteBB, I have a workaround that may help you.
Sort your titles, and then for each recipe title you want to edit, right mouse click on the title, and choose the "open in a new tab" option. Make your edits to each recipe, and then close each tab after saving. Your original tab, with the titles as you originally sorted them, will remain intact.
I do this while proofreading to check for typos and SCI's in titles.
