Default Sort imported date column

I exported a CSV file from one of my on-line accounts. The file has a list
of names, account numbers, and dates. Although the cells containing dates
are formatted as dates in the Format Cells-Number-Date, the sorting function
does not recognize that and will not sort oldest to newest. If I manually
retype a few of the dates into another column, Excel recognizes those as
being dates with no trouble. Is there something about importing from a CSV
that would cause this behavior?
Thank you.
