Hi,
maybe some numbers have blank spaces, try something let's say your numbers
are in column A in another column enter

=Trim(A1)

copy formula down, then copy this column and paste as values, then do the sort

I have a column of numbers that have been copied from another spread sheet
and each box has a green triangle in the upper right corner.
The column will not sort properly as some of the boxes do not have the
triangles in the upper right corner.
I can get ride of these by going to the box and double clicking but I have
approximately 4000 to do .

Is there a way to do this with one command ?
