Default Date in numeric format

I am trying to format dates in a spreadsheet. These dates are in a mixed
format. They change to a five digit format (for e.g. 06/03/2005 is represnted
by a five digit no. - 38417). I am unable to sort the date because it is not
in the correct format even if I change it to date. Is there any way I can
convert these numbers back to the date format therefore allowing me to sort
them. Mnay thanks in advance
