Before sorting your list to delete empty rows that are buried in it, do this:
1. Unmerge any cells in your range of data.
2. Insert a column to the left of your data and input this formula [ =IF(B1<>"",COUNTA($B$1:B1)&"","")]
into the first row in that column(ex: A1). Then fill down in the column to the last row containing data. This operation will number only the rows with data in column B.
3. Then sort by column A. Your data will remain in its original order but all the empty rows will now be grouped together so that you can delete them.

If you do not want do use SORT or FORMULAS, type in a blank column anything you want and than fill all rows until the end of the sheet (end of data). Then select first row of data and aplly the Auto Filter. Now if you choose 'BLANKS' in filter option it will display only blank cells (Rows). Now you may select the rows and delete them.
Don't lose previous order when deleting blank lines

If you want to delete blank lines, but I want everything else to remain in the same order. To accomplish this, add a new column to test the values in the column of data. For example, =IF(B1="","A","B") will calculate a value of "A" if the data is blank, "B" if it has data. Copy this to all cells for the length of the data (doing this in the entire column will give you many more blank lines than you desire). You can then sort the data, using the calculated field (Ascending values). This will put all blank lines first, where you can delete them. The remaining data will be in its original order.
