Default Sorting numbers doesn't work correctly

I rarely use Excel, but I need to sort a spreadsheet in which one of the
columns has only numbers. For example: 121.593, 121.58, 121.641, 121.61. My
expectation was that Sort Ascending would produce 121.58, 121.61, 121.593,
121.641. Instead, the sort produces the following sequence: 121.58, 121.593,
121.61, 121.641. In other words, it doesn't seem to understand that the
two-digit numbers (after the point (.)) go before the three digit numbers. Is
there a workaround?
