Default column not sorting correctly by date

I'm trying to sort a spreadsheet by a column that begins with a date
but has other information in the cell. When I sort by ascending it
begins with the cells that don't have any dates preceding the
alphabetical content then it will start with "4/6/2008 then 4/2/2008
then 4/10/2008, then it works it's way down to the March dates
correctly. Is there any way I can get it to straighten out April so
the most recent dates sort from the top? I checked to see if there
were any spaces before the dates and there weren't. Is there anything
else I should check for that would make it sort out of order?
