column in ascending order.

the file of serious departure (file1).
1 TATE DANCER -12
2 STANISLESS 0
3 UN CAPO 7
4 BABIA -3
5 ZAGATO -2
6 ELDAMAR -10
7 ALABARDERO -7
8 DUDU -8.5
9 OCHO REALES 3
10 CARMENTA -2.5
11 ALBARREAL -6
12 ARNOIA -7
13 RIVALLERO -4
14 VAILLANT PRINCE 4
15 TORCAL -4.5
16 CASTROGONZALO -6
17 BEST SUPER -17
18 THE BREAKERS -13
19 KIZAS -2
20 DANS LES ETOILES -22.5

5 ZAGATO -2
19 KIZAS -2
17 BEST SUPER -17
