Can excel be used to sort a list of dates prior to 01-Jan-1900? If so ...
How.

Thanks
Carl
 
Hi Carl!

If you enter dates in the format yyyymmdd Excel will sort the dates
correctly although the cells will not be date serial numbers but
ordinary numbers.

Otherwise you can use John Walkenbach's XDATE addin that Frank has
pointed you to.
