Default 2 dimensional date sort

Hi Walter,

Am Sun, 2 Dec 2012 12:44:18 +0000 schrieb Walter Briscoe:

I use Excel 2003.
I have a file, with about 1500 sets of dates in adjacent cells in rows.
I would like to sort that data. I suspect I am going to have to do so in
VBA, but would prefer worksheet instructions.

This is the rendering of a couple of rows of that data:
06-Nov-12 04-Dec-12 08-Jan-13 05-Feb-13 05-Mar-13 01-Oct-13
10-Nov-12 08-Dec-12 09-Feb-13 09-Mar-13 12-Oct-13

I want the output in month order. e.g. January - December, ignoring year
and day. So the output from those rows would be
08-Jan-13 05-Feb-13 05-Mar-13 01-Oct-13 06-Nov-12 04-Dec-12
09-Feb-13 09-Mar-13 12-Oct-13 10-Nov-12 08-Dec-12


select your rows = Data = Sort = Options = Sort Columns

Claus Busch
