Actually you should sort first by column B then by column A (your data in
column A)

A real solution to this is:
put this formula beside the data, and drag it: =len(A1) for instance. in
column B, then select both columns, and sort by column B. That's it.

How do I get these rows sorted numerically

1705
17350
20028
20028
2053
220
3839
4077
4077
4646
4673
4673

as you can see it is sorting by the first digit without regard to its actual
value. This is totally frustrating.
