Disco,

To Excel, TRUE is a numeric (actually, Boolean) value: use 'True as a
string, and it will sort the way that you expect.

Either enter the value True as 'true (with that leading apostrophe)
or preformat the cell as text, then type True.

True is a boolean value--not text if you just type it in a cell formatted as
General.
