Default How do I sort dates in Excel

I am transcribing a cemetery and want to be able to sort by birth and death
date. Right now a have all dates entered as yyyy-mm-dd.eventually this will
be posted on line for geologists. It would be much better if it were in the
format of day, month,year (28-Apr 1893). I have downloaded the xDate add in
for Excel dates before 1900 (hope I installed it correctly). Running Excel
2002

Is there any way to change these thousands of dates to the way that I want
them? I tried reformatting the columns
