Why RANKX function does not group correctly?

Hello

I am trying to rank WharHouse_City by Ship_to_City. I am trying to find out which ship is close to my warehouse city. I have tested a few formulas. It did not work. One of the community members ( thanks to Sumanth_23 ) showed me the Rank distance New and other one was tested by me.

I am gettign something like this,

 but I want something like this,

 I know I have a blank ship to city, but  I dont think it's going to affect me right. Can anybody please tell me what I am doing wrong? I have been trying this for one week and could not figure it out.

I also have attched my sample file.

I have tried following formulas, but did not work. 

Rank_Distance NEW = 
    VAR _Rnk =
        RANKX(
        FILTER(
            'Sample_Rank_Data', 
            'Sample_Rank_Data'[Ship_to_City]= EARLIER('Sample_Rank_Data'[Ship_to_City]) 
            && 'Sample_Rank_Data'[Distance] <> BLANK()
            ),
        'Sample_Rank_Data'[Distance],
        ,
        ASC, 
        DENSE)
    RETURN
        IF('Sample_Rank_Data'[Distance] = BLANK(), BLANK(), _Rnk)
Rank Test = 
IF (
    ISINSCOPE( Sample_Rank_Data[Ship_to_City] ),
    RANKX (
        CALCULATETABLE (
            VALUES ( Sample_Rank_Data[Ship_to_City] ),
            ALLSELECTED ( Sample_Rank_Data[Ship_to_City] )
        ),
        Sample_Rank_Data[Distance]
    )
)

Thank you so much

I figure it out. It has to be unique number. In my case, Document No. I was using Ship to city which has same cities for each order.
