Default Sorting results from the Index command

Have you ever
seen a problem where the column generated by the index command will not sort
as
expected.
=IF(INDEX(PAT_Owner, ROW($B11)) ="Mfg", INDEX(Brickchart_Name,ROW($B11)), "")

Column A Column B
Engineering (Header) Manufacturing (Header)
3DCS Analyst
3DCSi
AA
Acrobat 3D
ADVISE
AutoSMP
Bargain
Basement
BSML
CAD
CATIAV5
CATIAV5

When i try to sort on only column A, it does not sort out the empty
cells. It is as if it is sorting the column from which this data was
generated. I want the sort to remove to the empty cells in each column so
the results look like this:

Column A Column B
Engineering (Header) Manufacturing (Header)
3DCS Analyst AA
3DCSi Bargain
Acrobat 3D Basement
ADVISE CAD
AutoSMP
BSML
CATIAV5
CATIAV5

Any thoughts on why this would be happening?
