    I have not looked at your db, but as a note -- conditional formatting is only available in Access Forms and Reports. Tables are meant for storing raw data and should not be viewed as spreadsheets.

    Additionally, if you are looking to do sortings, then you should be doing that in either a report or a query. Again, tables are only used for storage and not data presentation. That is a spreadsheet mindset and not a relational database mindset. They are very different and if you plan on working in a RDBMS you need to adopt a database mindset.
