However, if I have a list that is say; Dec Apr Jun Jan Apr Nov I want it to sort so that the months and the rest of the row go in the correct order by date, as below: Jan Apr Apr Jun Nov Dec Instead, I can only get it to sort alpha order, as below: Apr Apr Dec Jan Jun Nov Is there a way that I can get excel to sort my rows using the date format I want in that one date column? Any advice appreciated. Colin- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - |
