Default Numbers won't sort correctly.

I have a column of numbers that were imported from a web site and they won't
sort correctly. I have tried reformatting the cells as general numbers but
that doesn't change anything. I discovered that numbers below 100 have a
space or invisible data in front of the number. If I remove it, the number
then shifts to right alignment in the cell and will sort as a number. Is
there any way I can remove these spaces from all numbers at once instead of
going down the column row by row?
