Default sort dates by dd/mm/yyyyy

Make sure they are numerical, excel sort dates default by year/month/day, if
you want to sort by month/year and day you need to use a help column to
extract the months

=MONTH(A2)

copy down and select both columns and sort by the help column first, if you
get an error the dates are text

Does anyone know how to sort dates my dd/mm/yyyy?
I have checked my regional settings and they co-ordinate, but it keeps
sorting by day regardless of the month.
Any suggestions would help!
