I've had trouble with this myself and found THE BEST and easiest solution...

1. Copy the data which you wish to make into a table and then sort.
2. Paste is somewhere else on your spreadsheet
3. Values will change due to your cell references, but we don't want that so click the pop-up to do a 'paste special' and choose paste 'values' only.

Hope you find it works. Regards.
