This is my effort using a Recordset to avoid the bubblesort. It is still clunky and probably no better - just a different way of doing things with arrays, recordsets and dictionaries all called up for a showing.
Code:
Option Explicit

Sub ListExpandSortDeDupCompress()
  Dim strNumberList As String
  Dim arrMixed() As String, iNum As Integer
  Dim oRs  As New ADODB.Recordset
  Dim oDic As Object
  Dim varRawNumbers As Variant

  Set oDic = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
  
  strNumberList = fcnKillWhiteSpace(Selection.Text)
  arrMixed = Split(strNumberList, ",")
  Set oRs = ConvertToExpandedRecordset(arrMixed)
  
  'Sort the recordset into order and create a dictionary of unique values (in sorted order)
  oRs.Sort = "[FldNum]"
  With oRs
    .MoveLast
    If .RecordCount > 0 Then
      .MoveFirst
      While Not .EOF
        iNum = .Fields("FldNum").Value
        If Not oDic.Exists(iNum) Then oDic.Add iNum, iNum
        .MoveNext
      Wend
    End If
  End With
  
'  varRawNumbers = oDic.Items
'  strNumberList = Join(varRawNumbers, ",")
'  Debug.Print strNumberList
  strNumberList = ConvertDict2CompressedString(oDic)
  Selection.InsertAfter vbCr & strNumberList
End Sub

Private Function ConvertToExpandedRecordset(arrValues() As String) As Recordset
  Dim oRs  As New ADODB.Recordset, arrSpan() As String
  Dim lRec As Long, lCount As Long
  
  oRs.Fields.Append "FldName", adVariant, , adFldMayBeNull
  oRs.Fields.Append "FldNum", adInteger, , adFldMayBeNull
  
  oRs.Open
  For lRec = LBound(arrValues) To UBound(arrValues)
    If InStr(arrValues(lRec), "-") > 0 Then
      arrSpan = Split(arrValues(lRec), "-")
      For lCount = CLng(arrSpan(0)) To CLng(arrSpan(1))
        oRs.AddNew
        oRs("FldName").Value = lCount
        oRs("FldNum").Value = lCount
        oRs.Update
      Next lCount
    Else
      oRs.AddNew
      oRs("FldName").Value = arrValues(lRec)
      oRs("FldNum").Value = CLng(arrValues(lRec))
      oRs.Update
    End If
  Next lRec
  Set ConvertToExpandedRecordset = oRs
End Function

Function fcnKillWhiteSpace(strRaw As String) As String
Dim strTemp As String
  strTemp = Replace(strRaw, " ", "")
  strTemp = Replace(strTemp, Chr(160), "")
  strTemp = Replace(strTemp, Chr(13), "")
  strTemp = Replace(strTemp, Chr(11), "")
  strTemp = Replace(strTemp, Chr(9), "")
  fcnKillWhiteSpace = strTemp
lbl_Exit:
  Exit Function
End Function

Function ConvertDict2CompressedString(oDic) As String
  Dim v As Variant, bConsecutive As Boolean, sRun As String
  Dim iStartRun As Integer, iEndRun As Integer, sTemp As String
  
  For Each v In oDic.Keys
    If oDic.Exists(v + 1) Then
      If Not bConsecutive Then  'first entry in a run
        iStartRun = v
        bConsecutive = True
        'sRun = iStartRun & "," & v
      ElseIf v - iStartRun = 1 Then 'second entry in a run
        sRun = iStartRun & "," & v
      Else  'run has 3+ entries
        iEndRun = v
        sRun = iStartRun & "-" & v
      End If
    Else
      If Not bConsecutive Then
        sRun = v
        sTemp = sTemp & "," & sRun
      ElseIf v - iStartRun = 1 Then
        sRun = iStartRun & "," & v
        sTemp = sTemp & "," & sRun
      Else
        sTemp = sTemp & "," & iStartRun & "-" & v
      End If
      bConsecutive = False
    End If
  Next
  Debug.Print sTemp
  
  sTemp = Mid(sTemp, 2)
  ConvertDict2CompressedString = Replace(sTemp, ",", ", ")
End Function

I've also beefed up the fcnKillWhiteSpace (which you like to refer to by its more colorful name).
Its always best to be grammatically correct

Andrew,

Except for the variable names (because I'm the odd ball) I really like your
ConvertDict2CompressedString function. Does the same thing but clean and easier for me to follow.

Since the dictionary is established with late binding, I think I would do the same with the Record Set. Also there is no error handling to deal with 1, 2, buckle your shoe, 3, 4 or 1, 1.2, $3.00, 4, 5 etc.

I has been an interesting thread. Thanks all!

All:

Thank you so much for your help on all of this. Very helpful and interesting to see other people's much cleaner and more organized redo of my code. Much easier to understand what's going on.

I came across another question about this process.

What if I wanted to specify a range of numbers, say "20-30," that needed to be adjusted up or down by 1 or 2? In other words, once the numbers are expanded, correct all numbers within a defined range up or down by a specified amount (20 should become 22, 21 should become 23, and so on), and then proceed to sort and compress those numbers. Seems like this should be a fairly simple operation that could be inserted after the gmaxey's bubblesort expands the strSpanDelimiter, but I'm not sure where to add the operation.

Here's my implementation. I've incorporated two functions I've created for other purposes (one to expand number ranges like 11-15, the other the contract number ranges like 11, 12, 13, 14, 15).
Code:
Sub Demo()
Dim StrIn As String, StrOut As String, NumArr(), i As Long, j As Long
StrIn = "11, 14, 35-37, 39-41, 49-51, 57-58, 63-64, 66, 68, 73-78, 82-87, " & _
        "96, 114, 123, 17, 20-23, 25, 42, 56, 69-71, 89-91, 124, 17, " & _
        "22-23, 56, 70, 89-91, 124, 20-21, 42, 69, 71, 25, 16, 18-19, 26-29, " & _
        "32, 52, 72, 125, 43, 46, 53, 54, 59-62, 88, 93-94, 92, 116, 121, 122"
StrIn = "," & Replace(ParseNumberString(StrIn, ", ", "-"), " ", "") & ","
i = UBound(Split(StrIn, ","))
Do While UBound(Split(StrIn, ",")) > 1
  StrOut = StrOut & " " & Split(StrIn, ",")(1)
  StrIn = Replace(StrIn, "," & Split(StrIn, ",")(1) & ",", ",")
  StrIn = Replace(StrIn, "," & Split(StrIn, ",")(1) & ",", ",")
Loop
StrIn = Trim(StrOut)
i = UBound(Split(StrIn, " "))
ReDim NumArr(i)
For j = 0 To i
  NumArr(j) = Split(StrIn, " ")(j)
Next
WordBasic.SortArray NumArr()
StrOut = Join(NumArr(), ",")
MsgBox ParseNumSeq(StrOut, "&")
End Sub
 
Function ParseNumberString(StrIn As String, strSS, strGS)
Dim i As Long, j As Long, StrTmp As String, Arr As Variant
Arr = Filter(Split(StrIn, strSS), strGS)
For i = 0 To UBound(Arr)
  StrTmp = ""
  For j = Val(Arr(i)) To Split(Arr(i), strGS)(1)
    StrTmp = StrTmp & strSS & j
  Next
  StrIn = Replace(StrIn, Arr(i), Mid(StrTmp, 2))
Next
ParseNumberString = StrIn
End Function

Function ParseNumSeq(StrNums As String, Optional StrEnd As String)
'This function converts multiple sequences of 3 or more consecutive numbers in a
' list to a string consisting of the first & last numbers separated by a hyphen.
' The separator for the last sequence can be set via the StrEnd variable.
Dim ArrTmp(), i As Integer, j As Integer, k As Integer
ReDim ArrTmp(UBound(Split(StrNums, ",")))
For i = 0 To UBound(Split(StrNums, ","))
  ArrTmp(i) = Split(StrNums, ",")(i)
Next
For i = 0 To UBound(ArrTmp) - 1
  If IsNumeric(ArrTmp(i)) Then
    k = 2
    For j = i + 2 To UBound(ArrTmp)
      If CInt(ArrTmp(i) + k) <> CInt(ArrTmp(j)) Then Exit For
      ArrTmp(j - 1) = ""
      k = k + 1
    Next
    i = j - 2
  End If
Next
StrNums = Join(ArrTmp, ",")
StrNums = Replace(Replace(Replace(StrNums, ",,", " "), ", ", " "), " ,", " ")
While InStr(StrNums, "  ")
  StrNums = Replace(StrNums, "  ", " ")
Wend
StrNums = Replace(Replace(StrNums, " ", "-"), ",", ", ")
If StrEnd <> "" Then
  i = InStrRev(StrNums, ",")
  If i > 0 Then
    StrNums = Left(StrNums, i - 1) & Replace(StrNums, ",", " " & Trim(StrEnd), i)
  End If
End If
ParseNumSeq = StrNums
End Function
AustinBrister: If you want to increment a certain series of numbers that might be included in the data, you could insert code like:
Code:
For i = 29 To 20 Step -1
  StrIn = Replace(StrIn, "," & i & ",", "," & i + 1 & ",")
Next
after:
StrIn = "," & Replace(ParseNumberString(StrIn, ", ", "-"), " ", "") & ","
to decrement them instead you'd use code like:
Code:
For i = 21 To 30
  StrIn = Replace(StrIn, "," & i & ",", "," & i - 1 & ",")
Next
