It depends whether the content of your cells is text, or numbers in Excel
date format.
If the former, you'd be better chaging it to the latter, then the sort will
be easy.

Hi,

2 helper columns

Column b = Month(a1)
Column c =Day(a1)

Drag both columns down

Select all 3 columns then sort on Column B ascending and column C ascending

Columns B&C can be hidden

If I want to sort by month, then day, I'll use a helper column with a formula
like:

=text(a1,"mmdd")
(and drag down)

And then sort the entire range by this helper column.
