with helper column in H (suit if you have headers):

Sub SortDate()
Dim LRow As Long
Dim intD As Integer, intM As Integer, intY As Integer
Dim rngC As Range

LRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
For Each rngC In Range("A1:A" & LRow)
intD = Mid(rngC, 7, 2)
intM = Mid(rngC, 9, 2)
intY = Mid(rngC, 11, 4)
rngC.Offset(0, 7) = DateSerial(intY, intM, intD)
Next
Range("A1:H" & LRow).Sort key1:=Range("H1"), _
order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo
Columns("H").ClearContents

End Sub
