Sort Issues

[Will03]

I have a list of dates from June 1,2014 to June 10,2014 and from July 1,2014 to July 10, 2014... When I sort, it arranges all the June 1 dates then the July 1st dates below that and so forth, when what I really need is for it to arrange them like this June 1 then June 2 then June 3 dates... What am I doing wrong? Is this a formatting question?

[Special-K]

They're not dates, dates are internally numeric.
They're text values.

Use a Helper column to translate them into a proper numeric date.

[Will03]

But what format should they be under in the helper column? Or how can I go about doing this?

Try this in helper column or provide sample data book without any confidential data
=TEXT(H2,"dd/mm/yyyy")

One possible solution is to select the list - Dat ribbon - Text to columns and click " Finish". Depending on the formatting it might work.
Else, post a sample of your data
