Default How do you sort the data by the month of the date?

Hi, The file has date formate as MM/DD/YYYY and I want to keep it
that
way. Is there anyway the file can be sorted by only MM? I am trying
to
sort by Jan, Feb, March...... November, December together.

Thanks,
Saz

Using a helper column is one way. With your data in A1 down put this in B1
and drag down

=MONTH(A1)

Select columns A&B and sort by column B.
