Description: A csv file when opened in LibreOffice Calc did not properly sort ascending. Specifically, the target column with header "Date" and values as mm/dd/yyyy sorted as 01/01/2021, ... 01/05/2021, 03/01/2020, 03/02/2020 ... 12/31/2020. The proper sorting should be 03/01/2020, 03/02/2020 ... 12/31/2020, 01/01/2021, ... 01/05/2021. That is, 2021 is being placed before 2020. Thank you. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open attached Calc file: Test_Sort.csv 2.Choose 'Data'-> 'Sort Ascending' on "Date column" Actual Results: Dates with year 2021 are ordered before dates with year 2020 Expected Results: Dates with year 2020 should precede dates with year 2020 as referenced to increasing row number.

Created attachment 168715 [details] .csv file to demonstrate improper data sort (data ascending).
When opening the .csv file, did you import the "Date" column as "Date (MDY)" format, or did you just leave it as "Standard" format? If you don't specify its format and just import as "Standard", it will be imported as text, and of course will be sorted as text strings, not as dates. (In reply to john.oliver.3 from comment #1) > Created attachment 168715 [details] > .csv file to demonstrate improper data sort (data ascending). This sample file sorts correctly, 2021 dates after 2020 dates, if I specify "Date" format when importing.
