Default Excel doesn't sort zip codes properly

I have a sizable worksheet (6,000 rows by 10 columns), which includes
names, addresses, and zip codes. When I try to sort on zip codes, the
worksheet sorts in two sections vertically, in ascending order. I
believe that is because some of the zip codes are formatted as values
and others are formatted as text. Even so, I have tried to format the
zip code column as text and it has not helped. So I'm wondering what I
need to change in the zip code cell formatting to make the proper sort
possible. Many thanks for suggestions.
