Hi, this could be because any field could makes it a text field and so you are only able to sort it with the first 2 digits. (If you look at the filter option, it would show text filters)
You need to make sure the format is Date. You can use Custom Number format "dd-mmm-yyyy hh: mm" to display in the format you want. Make sure you have no am or pm displayed after the date and time.
