Sort a list with a formula
 
Is there a way to sort a column with a series of formulas? ie select the
range and return the lowest value in row 1, next value in row 2 etc. The
range may contain blanks, which should sort to the bottom.
Thanks in advance!

I am attempting to automate a forecasting model as much as possible without
the need for users to presort their phase numbering There may be multiple
occurances of the same sort character(s) so SMALL will not work without some
additional logic. For example, the list:
01
02
01
03
should sort to
01
01
02
03

This works well if the data begins in row 1. Is there a way to compensate for
data that does not start in row 1?
