How can I pair two rows on a spreadsheet, so that for each data entry I can sort the matrix but the pair of rows moves as a single list of data, retaining the structure of the two rows?

For example: Original entry

A1,1 B1,1 C1,1 D1,1  
A1,2 B1,2 C1,2 D1,2  

A2,1 B2,1 C2,1 D2,1  
A2,2 B2,2 C2,2 D2,2

Sorted reverse order

A2,1 B2,1 C2,1 D2,1  
A2,2 B2,2 C2,2 D2,2    

A1,1 B1,1 C1,1 D1,1  
A1,2 B1,2 C1,2 D1,2
