The method, explained

Sort data rows by the selected column. Numeric sorting compares finite numbers; text sorting compares code units.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

Scores 100,20,3 become 3,20,100 with numeric ascending order.

What to keep in mind

Numeric mode rejects blank or nonnumeric cells. Text sorting is case-sensitive and not locale-specific.
