Hello, excell is not sorting date correctly. The column is formatted in date and middle aligned. But some dates are weird. Like even if i turn them to numbers they remain in date format and these weird dates are not getting sorted

That means that Excel sees them as text. You may be able to use Data > Text to Columns to convert those cell to real dates.
