Try this array formula** :

rng = A$2:A$10

=IF(ROWS($1:1)<=SUM((rng<"")/COUNTIF(rng,rng&"")),INDEX(rng,SMALL(IF(rng<"",IF (ROW(rng)-MIN(ROW(rng))+1=MATCH(rng,rng,0),ROW(rng)-MIN(ROW(rng))+1)),ROWS($1:1))),"")

Copy down until you get blanks

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER)
