    Set ptProtSheet1 = Spreadsheet1.Worksheets("Sheet1").Protection
    
    ' Allows user to filter rows while Sheet1 is protected.
    ptProtSheet1.AllowFiltering = True
    
    ' Allows user to sort rows and columns while Sheet1 is protected.
    ptProtSheet1.AllowSorting = True
    
    ' Protect Sheet1.
