pivottable date

[Guest]

I have dates in the column field in the following format mm/yyyy

however its not sorting as it should.

currently it displays like 01/2006, 04/2005, 05/2005........... 12/2005

How can it display 04/2005, 05/2005, .......12/2005 , 01/2006


please help

Hi

Go to Tools>Options>Lists> and create a new list of 04/2005, 05/2005,
06/2005 etc.
Go back to the PT, double click on the field, choose Advanced and select
Sort>Ascending again.

And if they're real dates (not text) sorting may be enough, without
creating a custom list.
