Default Sorting errs

Hello there,

I am having an issue with Sorting my data list.


I am having a list/ range which I would like to sort.
Whether I use the standard "sort ascending" button or I use
Data|Filter|autofilter instead (sort ascending) ... somehow my data
does not get sorted ascendingly.
It looks like, 1,1,1,1,5,5,5,5,57,7,1,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,12,....etc etc


I have a column labelled "Month" ... in which there appear only the
nrs from 1-12.
OK, it is some imported data from an Essbase system ... but I coerced
the data into real numbers by multiplying them with 1, as I though
tthat this could be the cause of teh problem.
Helas :(

OK, the data is like 30.000 rows long.
But hey, If I sort ascendingly or descendingly for that matter, on
some otehr fields it works!
I would think that sorting on numbers would be the easiest for excel,
but it does not seem to be true.

Anyone an idea why it bugs ? How to overcome it ?
Thanks in advance,
Jen
