Excel Date Sort Format: Weekday, Month Day, Year

[mrsinnister]

[Whenever I try to sort data in the format shown Wkdy, Month Day, Year; it reverts to some alphabetical crap by the leftmost item. I have 2000+ items I have randomly placed in this column and I just need the thing sorted or a format that will make it work. This shouldn't be this difficult. Don't tell me I have to delete the weekday or place it last to make it work.
