Sorting not working in Selenium webdriver

Question

I am trying to check if the column is sorted ascending order or descending order depending order when I click the column one or twice . I am not getting correct results by my code . My code is as below . I am taking the column to check for sorting in a List and using comparetoIgnoreCase but for test data like below its failing on test_UAT_w74 and Test123 kjfksfj for ascending order And if I check in Excel for sorting , the result is same as below . How can I work on this ? Please help

Using selenium webdriver , Should I paste this column in Excel and perform the sorting in Excel and then confirm the result or what can I do ? PLease help
