If it is real number not formatted as text then select the C Column and
press Alt+D+S which will get you the sort window. In "sort by" select the
column or field and select the sorting method as "Ascending" and give Ok.
If your data is having the header row then check the "My data has header
option".

Remember to Click Yes, if this post helps!

In addition, if it is text data you should see a warning that has an option
to select that says "sort anything that looks like a number as a number".
That should do the trick.
