Problem sorting with hyperlinks

When using a hyperlink, the sort takes into account the "a href" etc., instead of the text that displays. In this example, you can see that Animal Biology -- the only data with a link -- comes first, out of alphabetical order.

https://acm.tru.ca/Page18490.aspx

Also, in the sort option list, it shows part of the URL title, although there is not one specified: Animal Biology">Animal Biology

I'm using version 1.10.2.

I did see this example, but it doesn't appear to work for me:
