--Sort in ascending order the oldest date will be on top

--If you are looking for a formula try the below which will display the
smallest date in ColA. Format the formula cell to excel date format
=MIN(A:A)

If you sort the range, won't the oldest date be either at the top or bottom of
the range?

You could use a formula in a different cell:

=min(a1:a10)

The oldest date will be the smallest date.
