The output you are getting is not "incorrect". It is actually correct with the flags you are giving sort.
You have to tell sort that you are sorting numbers and not text.
Code:
:> df -k | grep / | awk '{print $5}' | sort -gr
100%
7%
2%
0%
0%
A quick look at the man pages would've given you the answer.
