How to sort a column based on numerical ascending order if it includes e-10?

I have a column of numbers in the following format:


1.722e-05
2.018e-05
2.548e-05
2.747e-05
7.897e-05
4.016e-05
4.613e-05
4.613e-05
5.151e-05
5.151e-05
5.151e-05
6.1e-05
6.254e-05
7.04e-05
7.12e-05
7.12e-05

I want to sort it in numerical ascending order but the e-'s complicate things. How do I go about doing this? Thanks!
