Delete row containing column1 column2 etc

Forum search found nothing but I can't imagine it's not covered in some way somewhere here.

Excel 2007 - I have a table of data - I formatted a rectangualr area and used a table style but the small sort buttons in the Column1 column2 don't sort the tabel correctly (I think it's because I have two rows underneath the column1, column2, etc row - one has a few cells filled in with dates, the next row has some column headings in it - I just want to get rid of the sort row containing the column1 column2 labels with the small sort buttons but excel won't allow me to delete this row - all I want to do is go back to highlighting the cells I want sorting and use the main menu bar sort command unless I can find an easy way to sort out this sorting functionality that I find confusing. I'll off to dig around in the help files again.

post your workbook !
