Default How to sort XX/XX (the last 2 digits is the year in ascending orde

Insert a blank column to the right of the column you want to sort on and
enter the formula below and copy it for the full length of the column. The
example assumes the first sort value is in H2 and the formula is in column I.

=VALUE(RIGHT(H2,2))

Then sort the column with the formula.
