not sorting in ascending order

Hi,,

I have trimmed my numbers and the sorting still wouldn't work. Sheet 3

    That's because of the formulas in column E.

    E2 contains =SQRT(SUMXMY2(C2:C919,D2:D919))

    E3 contains =SQRT(SUMXMY2(C3:C920,D3:D920))

    ...

    E919 contains =SQRT(SUMXMY2(C919:C1836,D919:D1836))

     

    So E2 will always be the largest value (it sums all data rows), and E919 will always be the smallest value (it sums only row 919).

     

    What is the purpose of column E?
