Please help me sort this (complete)

I stupidly created a filename with spaces (new alexandria cemetery) it has been renamed (cemetery).
Feel free to use Excel to sort this even though it was created with Google Sheets (no page breaks) -> OpenOffice
Calc (sorting difficulty).  I was trying to use spreadsheet  programs that work in both windows and ubuntu but I've been working on this for 15 months.  I will use Excel.

The names are divided into 26 divisions (one for each letter of the alphabet)  EACH division is then sorted by internment (burial) date.  I can't get Calc to sort these properly :
LN, FN, MI ->sort by internment date

I converted  it to an Excel file.  Please sort it.  I have been using Ubuntu for quite awhile and it sounds like you're better at this than I am.  I'll try to read your instructions but please sort it.
There's nothing attached, and why don't you try to sort it, and let me know if you have any questions.  If you don't try it yourself, you'll never learn.
Okay.  I'll try, and would like to learn this.
What is a Ribbon?
The ribbon is the tabs across the top in Excel (Home, Insert, Draw, Page Layout, Formulas, Data, etc.)
