why does sorting large columns create errors in top selection?

[Guest]

In excel 2003 when sorting a large column of numbers, over a few hundred,
they all sort properly except the top one or two. How can I avoid this or
rectify it?

I've been "bitten" many times by the top row not sorting too. One thing I
would suggest is to always use column headers.

I'm assuming that you are using the quick sort buttons and not going to
Data/Sort....
