How come sometimes on sortable wikitables, if you sort by a certain criteria, the sort order is incorrect?

here is an example of this kind of thing. If you sort by population density, it's thrown off, giving an incorrect order. This happened again with another table, but I somehow fixed it by manually rewriting the entire thing (copy+paste didn't work). What's up with this, and how do I fix it for the future?
