hi
you could use 2 helper columns to the right of the data.
assumming the date is in column a....
in the first helper column you could put =month(A2).copy down
this would give you the mouth number of the date
in the second helper column you couldput =year(a2). copy down
this ould give you the year of the date.
you could then sort by the month column then by year.

when finished, delete the helper columns.

I have a list that I exported to Excel that has a name and date of birth
(only 2 columns). I want to sort the list by month, dated and then year.
When I try sorting the list, it always sorts by the year. Do I have to put
in some sort of function to make is sort this way?
