Excel SORT() and FILTER() functions are missing
These days build number practically means nothing. It only indicates that starting from this build you have a chance to receive this or that new functionality.
New functionality is deployed gradually by channels. First Insiders Fast, next Monthly Targeted, next Monthly channel, etc. You may have some build on Monthly channel but have no new functionality witch another person on Monthly Targeted received with the same build.
Moreover, gradual deployment is within same channel as well. You may be on the same channel and on the same build with another person, but one of you already have new functionality, another one not.
That could take months to deploy functionality to everyone within same channel. I don't know what is the exact mechanism of deployment, perhaps you receive some registry key when next time login to Office. What is the logic on server side, when and to whom to flick the switch.

I have enrolled in First Insiders Fast with Office 365 subscription and I also see that SORT() and FILTER() are not available.
I encountered the problem when downloading from Google Sheets to Excel.
Any more information on when the functions will be available?
If you are on Insiders Fast it shall be available. Please check your channel with File->Info->Account->About Excel
If your channel as above and you have no Dynamic Arrays functionality, send a Frown to Microsoft with File->Feedback
I'm not sure exactly what triggered it, but found FILTER(), SORT() and UNIQUE() to be working in Excel this morning, after signing up as described.
HOWEVER, there's one caveat.
In Google Sheets, where I first discovered FILTER(), I'm able to apply multiple array filters in the form:= FILTER (A1:A10, A1:A10>0, B1:B10>5, C1:C10>10)
It looks as those Excel's equivalent can filter by one array only. Is that correct?
