Sorting Dates from Oldest to Newest with the format YYYY-MM-DD

[jennis7242]

I'm importing data with the date format as stated above. I have thousands of entries to work with and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to sort it when the date format is given to me this way. Is there any way to either sort it from oldest to newest as is or moving the year to the end and then sorting from oldest to newest as normal? Thanks in advance.

If the format you showed is a text string then sorting it as text will automatically give you a sort by date. It won't offer "oldest/newest" because it is not a date, but you can still sort it as text.

If you need to convert to a date value that's a slightly different question.
