Skipping a cell help

I posted this in the formulas forum, but I'm unsure as to the protocol on this forum. Below is my question:

Currently I have a blank space between descriptions on my spreadsheet and I want to get rid of those blank spaces.

I cannot delete the middle space so I am trying to skip it.

Example:

A1 = text description
A2 = Blank
A3 = text description
A4 = Blank

So on and so forth until cell A1600

I'd like to have an output that looks like this:

B1 = text description
B2 = text description

With the text descriptions coming from A1 and A3.

Hope that's clear :-) help is much appreciated.

I recommend; select the sheet, and sort it. Note attached pix.
