First insure that they are genuine dates. If your date system is m/d/y then
02/01/06 will be 1 February 2006. Re-format the cell containing this value
to General and you should see: 38749

If this does not happen, then you are not using "real"dates

I have dates formatted as 02/01/06, but when I sort in ascending order,
nothing seems to sort correct, there is a mixture of 06, 00, 05. I looked
for any character such as a space in front or a dot instead of a / to see if
this was the problem. Any thoughts?
