In a descending sort, it see 2 as greater than 19, and 99,000 as greater than 8,754,967.

Rashid -

What you are describing is an ascii sort instead of a numeric sort. If there are any characters in the input columns that aren't numbers - for example spaces - then the spreadsheet treats the parameter as text instead of a number.

If you make sure that everything between the commas in the input list is a number, then it should treat the field as numeric, and sort it as you expect.
