Unfortunately, Excel doesn't recognize dates earlier than 1901. There is a freeware add-in called XDate which you can use for that.
Also, the other problem is that there are so many ways dates are shown in Legacy - month and year only, year only, date and month only, etc, that the sort doesn't work well either. The best way to sort on dates is using GenViewer, a Mudcreek Software program, which we sell in the online store. You can do all kinds of sorts which you can't do in Legacy, as well as searches, and print the results out.
