ok so i have 494 data entries. one of the sorting factors is date of birth. now, i want to sort it from months, but evertime i his sort it does it by literal date of birth (age).
how can i change this, without having to enter any more info.
the date is entered: MM/DD/YYYY
just trying to make life a bit easier, but if it doesnt work ill just search manually for the months. 12/3/2007 9:22:09 AM |

a single year will have some numerical value. Find this numerical value, multiply by the floor of the date divided by said value, subtract this value from the data
and there you go. 12/3/2007 10:27:52 AM |
