Are you kidding me??? Are you telling me I can't sort format: dddd, mmmm dd, yyyy?

Well, I am completely stuck. My regional settings are in order. I place the aforementioned format into my Custom format list, but I can't find a way to get this column to sort using the Weekday, Month Day, Year format. Can ANYONE provide any suggestions?? I mean anyone?? Did I break some kind of code by posting on a similar problem with someone else that I wasn't aware of. Do you all just not know, or you think the solution is so simple as to not warrant a response? Enlighten me. I have thick skin.

To those new to my dilemma, the problem is that sorting is only alphabetical and I can't convert that date format into number form. Just need suggestions or something. Is there a way to sort by comma delimited fields by date? If anyone can provide that technique, we can stop here.
