Standard Sudoku rules are in effect, i.e., each row, column, and 3x3 box contains the digits 1-9 exactly once.
The clues are not sums! Rather, all of the 34 diagonals in the grid are ranked by their sum. 1 points to the smallest sum, and 34 points to the largest sum. No two sums are equal.
While the resulting grid was found with the help of a computer (thanks, Feadoor!), the solution path is definitely intended for (patient) humans!
This puzzle can be solved in the F-Puzzles app.
Solution code: The 4th row, followed by the 4th column (18 digits total)
