This issue has already been addressed here
http://vi.stackexchange.com/questions/9869/sorting-a-column-without-altering-other-columns

Have you tried this?

1- In normal mode, put your cursor on the number 4 in the first line

2- Press `CTRL-v` (without backquotes) to take you to block-wise
visual mode

3- Press `7j` to move the cursor to the number 8 on line 8

4- Press `$` to select the entire column (see `:help v_$` for details)

5- Press `:B sort` as usual.
