Word not sorting list in alpha order

I have a list of names that I have sorted over and over again, trying to get
the entire list to sort in alpha order. I made sure the font and font size
were the same for all the entries. Nothing seems to work to get the list in
order. For example:

og1
sp
zi
lg
pb
me
wo
Og2

This is just one section that did not sort correctly despite multiple
attempts. I have no idea what to do to make the sort work. There is only 1
field (a paragraph) with a paragraph separator. There are parts of the list
that do sort although words with the same initial letter are also found
elsewhere.

HELP!!!!!
 
Thanks for the tip, Greg, it was very helpful. I did a reveal codes and saw
that indeed, the lines in question had line breaks, not paragraphs! I
appreciate your help very much. Thanks again, Greg.
