UNABLE TO SORT DATE
 

The problem is excel won't recognize the cell as a datte value with the Day
of the week (Fri) at the beginning of the data. You have to remove the Fri
to be able to sort. If your date start in cell A1 use this formula in B1 to
convert to a date

=DATEVALUE(MID(A1,5,LEN(A1)))


The sort the new column.
