Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
You should be able to do that pretty easily.
It looks like you have the sort order reversed, where you have it sorting by sitecost first, then SKU.
Make sure the SKU field is the first sort priority.

In the data presented, every entry in sku is unique, therefore a secondary sort is moot. If this is only a sample of the data, look down the sku field to find duplicates; only there will a secondary sort change the order.
