As Bill has pointed out, they may be text. Sometimes simply reformatting may
not do it.

Copy a blank cell and then editpaste special...values+add the 'text'
numbers and they should budge to numbers. (Don't do this over formulae or
you will kill it/them)

I am sorting a list of numbers containing 100510 and 10160 and 100510 comes
out before 10160 which is out of order. How do I get them to sort
properly?
