    Need to convert Month/Date/Year to Year/Month/Date so excel will recognize

    Hello

    I have a ton of dates in Month/date/year format already and excel 2003 only recognizes year/month/day. Does anyone know what I can do about these dates?

    ex. I have 01/04/2015, 01/09/2028, etc which excel will put next to each other since they are both in january

    I want 01/04/2015 to be sorted next to 02/04/2015. Excel will only do this for dates in the Year/Month/Date form.

    Thank you
