Excel rank function data does not sort correctly

I have used a formula to rank data.  When I try to sort from low to high based on rank, it does not sort correctly.  Any solutions?

=RANK(I53,$I$53:$I$69)

Data type is set to Number

Total      Rank
75.00      1
66.25      3
43.75      14
53.75      12
65.00      5
57.50      8
57.50      8
30.00      17
60.00      7
65.00      5
32.50      16
37.50      15
47.50      13
56.25      10
56.25      10
75.00      1
66.25      3

Works okay here, can you upload a sample sheet with the problem?

if you mean to generate unique rank list, you could try formula:

=RANK(I53,$I$53:$I$69,0)+COUNTIF($I$53:I53,I53)-1
