Array formula in A1:

=INDEX(A1:A100, MIN(IF(ISBLANK(A2:A100), "", ROW(A2:A100)))) + CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER

copied right as far as needed.

Functions in this article:

INDEX(array,row_num,[column_num])
Returns a value or reference of the cell at the intersection of a particular row and column, in a given range

MIN(number1,[number2])
Returns the smallest number in a set of values. Ignores logical values and text

ROW(reference) returns the rownumber of a reference

IF(logical_test;[value_if:true];[value_if_false])
Checks whether a condition is met, and returns one value if TRUE, and another value if FALSE

ISBLANK(value)
Checks whether a reference is to an empty cell and returns TRUE or FALSE
