It worked fine for me.

I put the cursor on the '4' in the first line, then typed

    Ctrl-V
    $
    7j
    :B sort!n

Voila!

    1.  LARGEST          540    
    2.  SECOND-LARGEST   168    
    3.  MID              64     
    4.  MID              40     
    5.  MID              40     
    6.  MID              14.84  
    7.  SECOND-LEAST     8      
    8.  LEAST            2.8
