Hi Robert, Ray and all.
I tried Rays, answer but got a function error, so I tried a couple of
experiments and ended up with kind of a solution
Column A is Year (1855, 1855)
Column B is Month (Apr, Jan)
Column C is Day (15, 15)
Discovered that nothing seems to work on years prior to 1900
I changed Column A to 1955, 1955
I used the DATE function to get Year, Month, Day and discovered all
values must be numeric
I changed Column B to 4, 1
THEN, using the DATE function, I got the desired value to display. I
copied values to another cell, formatted that value as desired then used
Sort/Options/First Key Sort Order to get the desired sort.
Hope this helps. /g

Robert,
In a new column (let's say E) and fill it like this:
Cell E1:
=3DTEXT(D1)
Sort on this new column and that should solve the problem.
