Sorting
Excel is sorting the data in an alpha-numeric order (just like a dictionary
would). And 1's come before 2's.
You could either extract the numbers from your data into a different column.
And sort your range by these two helper columns (Cond in one column, 7 in the
next).
Or you could edit your entries:
Cond0007
cond0008
cond0009
cond0010
....
To get the sort you want.

Don't know what you expected - did you look at the "When I sort, I do

COND12
COND13
COND14
COND15
COND16
COND17
COND18
COND109
