So you notate it has a header row with the radio buttons, right?<br />

Table of dates sorted by Date and by Text types

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Table has a &quot;Date&quot; column and we are sorting by that date. The dates don't seem to be sorting exactly by date.<br />
<br />
What are the rules for sorting by date? Do the dates have to be in a very specific format? Do they, for instance have to be xx/xx/xxx?<br />
<br />
If there is 1/5/2013 does it need to be 01/05/2013 in order to sort?

Word  2010 Table Sorting

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
