I'm assuming the 1,2,3 etc are not representative of your data and merely
indicate the existence of a number, else you would just sort first and then
transpose. Put a helper column next to your numbers and put 1 in the firts, 2
in the second and then select both and fill down, so you get something like:-

738 1
585 2
626 3
368 4
379 5
799 6
123 7
787 8
835 9
741 10
151 11
479 12
877 13
813 14
443 15
966 16

Now just select the entire set of data and do a Sort / Descending based on the
helper column, and then transpose. You can also Transpose first and then just
do this on a horizontal basis sorting right to left.
