@HP_ELITE_8300 Your "numbers" are in fact texts. So, the text "33" gets sorted after "3" and before "4". You can do a Custom sort, chose A to Z and press OK. Then you should get a warning message saying that you have texts that look like numbers with a question what to do with it.

 

Alternatively, transform the texts to real numbers.
