Recognising dates pre-1900

I'm a genealogist building a database using Excel 2007, but I can't sort by
dates in chronological order as Excel does not recognise dates pre-1900.
I want to sort by date format: eg 25 Aug 1834, 8 Jan 1732, 30 Sep 1749 etc.

Is there any way of doing this other than reversing the whole date to
18340825.

Any advice appreciated. Thanks
