Default How to sort names in alphabetical ascending order?

I try it, which works if all data is under the same column, but it does not
work for table from M2 to W200. Do you have any suggestions on how to make it
work for a table?
Thank you very much for any suggestions

To get it in a single formula then use the below:-

Row / Col A Column
Row1 NAME
Row2 NDF
Row3 ABC
Row4 YJK
Row5 LDF
Row6 NTK
Row7 PMR
Row8 OTF
Row9 KQY
Row10 DFT
Row11 PKR

Copy and paste the below formula in B2 cell

=INDEX($A$2:$A$11,MATCH(SMALL(COUNTIF($A$2:$A$11," <"&$A$2:$A$11),ROW(1:1)),COUNTIF($A$2:$A$11,"<"&$A $2:$A$11),0))

Place the cursor in B2 cell and press F2 and give Cntrl+Shift+Enter, since
it is an array formula.

Copy the B2 cell and paste it to the remaining cells of B Column depends
upon the A column data.

Large and Small functions only work with the Numbers and it doesn't work with

There is a table from cell M2 to W200, which contains names and empty cell.
I would like to retrieve the names and sort them in in alphabetical
ascending order under Z column.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do it in excel?
