    have a column of random dates. want a formula for an output column of them sorted

    a1:a10 is a bunch of random dates
    i want b1:b10 to be these same dates, in ascending order

    must be a formula, not a macro, not a manual sort process
    any help?

    thanks

    Using the ROWS function is more robust.

    Entered in B1 and copied down:

    =SMALL(A$1:A$10,ROWS(B$1:B1))
