I have data in column A & B. Column A contains text and column B contains
mixed dates (years). I want to sort ascending both columns based on the
earliest to latest date. Help.

John,

Select all of the data that you want to sort.
Go to the Data menu and select Sort.
On the displayed form make sure column B is selected
and that ascending is check marked.

As long as column B contains true Excel dates, it's a simple DataSort...
Specify column B in Sort By, and it will put them in order with the earliest
first.
