--- Comment #9 from Robert Lacroix <[email protected]> ---
Note what the description said.

"Basically the math being done for some values throws a .000000000000001 on to
the value."

This is a fundamental limitation in representing some numbers inside all
computers, called Round-off Error, which can not be fixed but can be worked
around.

The round-off error appears as an extra amount in your calculated value because
you subtracted an inexactly represented number from a number which is
represented exactly.

To work around the problem this causes in sorting, you must round the
calculated value to an acceptable precision using the ROUND(value, digits)
spreadsheet function in the formula of the column you are sorting.
