--- Comment #3 from Andreas Säger <[email protected]> ---
LOOKUP in all spreadsheets of the past 3 decades works differently than most of
todays users expect. LOOKUP does NOT lookup single items as shown by the
following formula in your document:

=LOOKUP("xyz text"; Lookups.$E$1:$E$3 ; Lookups.$F$1:$F$3)

The formula will return a value for the non-existing search value regardless of
your list being sorted or not.
Since most of todays users want to mis-use a spreadsheet as a database, 

=VLOOKUP("xyz text"; Lookups.$E$1:$F$3 ; 2 ; 0)

is the "right" function call and does not require a specific sort order. The
zero is the important parameter here.
