Financial Report structure

Hello,

 

I'm trying to sort a column by an index column, but keep getting an error message:

As far as I can tell I don't see any duplicates. I've done the remove duplicates and it only got rid of my null/blank spaces. Keeping the structure and order is important to the end user. Any advice?
