[FIXED] How to stack multiple columns into one, alternating rows - Google Sheets

Issue

I'm working on a Google Sheets document that has data stacked in columns in an unusual order (see image for reference)

I have what you see on columns A, B and C. But I want what I have on column E. I have 8 pages with hundreds of data elements, all sorted in 3 columns like that and I'm looking for a formula or a custom script that would allow me to arrange the data in the right sequence.

I did research trying to find a solution, but none of the ones I found work well for this situation. The order of the elements is very important.

EDIT: The data is not numbers. It's text. So sorting formulas wouldn't work, because it would sort it alphabetically and it would mess up the order

Solution

all you need is:

=FLATTEN(A1:C7)

with open ranges you can do:

=QUERY(FLATTEN(A1:C); "where Col1 is not null"; )
