lock in a title on column allowing sorting

[BILBO22]

I am trying to create titles for columns. I can do that by just creating them in the cells above the data.
The problem is that the titles sort into the data using the sorting feature. When I lock any cells and protect them, the sorting is locked out.
Can I use some sort of header over the columns that remains in place where I can still sort the data below, by clicking on the column and sorting?
