so I have a spread sheet that has
ABCDEFG
1##FormulaFormulaTextTextText
2##FormulaFormulaTextTextText

<tbody>
</tbody>

(slightly simplified but that is the general idea)

Column C hidden and column F is hidden

I added the Filters to the top row and when i tell Column E it to sort A to Z It almost gets it right but not quite, its like something else has the priority to sort by first but i cant figure out what that is or where. I have tried Clearing and removing all filters then re adding the filters back but still no working right

Actual spreadsheet below

Excel Facts

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
I copied your data into Excel and when I Sorted on Column E I got the same result. I believe the issue is that there are blank cells in your data and the sort is stopping on the first blank cell. I highlighted the entire range and then when I Sorted on Column E I got the expected result.
