Default Completely baffled on what should be simple

A friend of mine is trying to sort 1 column in a spreadsheet. The numbers
are 4 digit extension #'s. There are 707 numbers, rows, and only the 1
column. Nothing fancy. When we try to sort only the first 397 rows. The
header, Ext, is in the first row. Starting with the 398 row the sorting
starts all over again from there. We can't get them to sort all of the 707
extension numbers. We have tried changing everything. I added another
column with misc. numbers using the same number of digits and everything.
That row sorted fine with all 707 numbers. I tried sorting the 2 columns
together but only the bogus column sorted the whole column but the extension
numbers column only sorted up to the 397 row. This seems so silly and should
be easy. We've checked and unchecked lock to see if that had anything to do
with it but nothing.

Thanks,
Pat
