How to "link" one column to another in OpenOffice Calc


Hi,
If I have say, a column of Months, eg. "January", "February" etc., with a "income" column to the right of it, for say, 6 months - eg. "423", "2342", if I highlight some or all of the months and Sort it, I would like the "income" column values to move up and down as well- eg. if the months become "February", then "January", I would like to see the corresponding change in the "income" column as well, eg. first "2342", THEN "423". I would like this even if I say, Manually move the "months" column data around, eg. put "February" at the bottom.

How do I do this?


Thanks.
