Is the cell column formated as date? The only thing I can think up is that
the fact the the cell column is not in a date format and that maybe it's was
just a general cell and that it might be sorted by that time of last change
for the cell that it was work on last.

How can I sort a spreadsheet by a column full of dates? Even though type
is "date" when I sort by that column, the result seems to be random. I
can't make sense of the order even assuming it is sorting like text. The
sort does happen, because it changes when I switch between ascending and
descending.
