    Re: How to sort data in Ascending Order of Date

    You can't as it stands because your date and time column is not properly formatted as date and time, so Excel will see it only as text and can therefore only attempt to sort it alphabetically for you, not numerically. You need to get the contents of that column formatted properly, and then you can use Excel's filters to sort the data.

    One way you can do sorting.
    In "G" column add "Helper" & enter formula in "G2"
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =LEFT(C2,11)
    copy paste down.
    Then sort by "Helper" > by "Order" : A to Z

    Refer attach file.
    You need to do only in "G" column formula as per post #3 (Format as Date)
    Then sort by "Helper" > by "Order" : A to Z
