I need to be able to sort by dates of hire. Excel 2003 sorts everything by
year and I need to sort by month then date and finally year.

You could use a helper column with a formula in it:

=text(a2,"mm/dd/yyyy")

It'll look like a date, but it's really a string. But since it's a string, you
can sort it alphabetically.
