You want the first of every month before the 2nd of any month???

You could a helper column filled with formulas:
=text(c1,"ddmmyyyy")
and drag down

and sort by that.


If you have a list of (say) birthdays and want to group them by day of the month
(disregarding year), you could use a formula like:

=text(c1,"mmddyyyy")
and drag down

and sort by that.

When I do the above, it sorts it by the day only - I want it to be sorted by
day, month and year.
