Default DATE SORTING excel

If you can't format the dates as you're indicating below, than they
are probably stored as text and not as an excel date.

If all your dates are setup as they are below (i.e. 2 digit month,
some delimiter, 2 digit day, some delimeter, 4 digit year) then use
this formula assuming the dates start in cell A1.

=IF(ISTEXT(A1),DATE((RIGHT(A1,4)),(LEFT(A1,2)),(MI D(A1,4,2))),A1)
