How to Sort by Date
in Google Sheets

Select the column that contains the dates by clicking on the column letter.

Click on Data in the top menu and choose Sort range from the dropdown.

If your column has a header (like “Date”), check the box for Data has a header row to exclude it from sorting.

Choose either Sort A → Z (oldest to newest) or Sort Z → A (newest to oldest).

Click Sort, and the entire column will be arranged accordingly.

If you want to keep related data together (such as names and dates), select the entire dataset before sorting.
