    Excluding certain lines from a sort

    Hey, I'm trying to sort a list of numbers that has a non-numerical header, but when I do the sort function I cannot keep it from placing the header at the bottom, after the numbers. I've searched to see if sort has any kind of exclude command, with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    sort -r
    reverse sort

    sed -s "s/^[A-z][A-z]*//g"
