As a follow-on: I created a cell style with a bottom and right border plus a background, then applied it to selective rows. It looks good when I generate the file.
If I sort the rows, the background color remains for the content rows - but the border style randomly disappears. In fact the last 2 columns only have content for rows with this style (w borders), but after sorting most of those columns just lose their borders: 7 rows keep borders, 4 lose the last 2 columns' borders, 14 lose all borders after the sort. Total 163 content rows. The border dialog within Excel shows this isn't just a visual artifact: missing borders are no longer set on those content rows. The rows which keep their borders after the sort doesn't correlate with the original position of rows with borders. I don't know if this is an Excel-ism or how much POI affects it.
