Default problem custom sorting a date in an excel file

I have an Access report that is output to an excel file. I open the excel
file and do a data create list so I can do a custom sort. The field I am
trying to sort is a date field it is formatted "16-Jan-2009". I select
custom and contains and type in "Jan" and click OK. I get no sort at all, it
comes up blank. I have tried formatting the date 2 ways and it still comes
up blank. What am I doing wrong?
