Sorting Recurring Expenses?

Hello,

I don't use Excel much and I'm having trouble trying to do something that seems so simple. I've searched and searched and can't find an answer.

I've prepared a very simple worksheet for monthly recurring expenses. These expenses are typically due the same date each month (1st, 10th, 15th, etc.). How should I be entering those dates so I can sort the list on that?

Ultimately, I'd like to sort the expenses bi-weekly to coincide with my pay periods.

Thanks!

Lyle

    I would like run sql (e.g. select * from table order by dates)

    You would help us help you by sharing a copy of the "very simple worksheet" you've created. Presumably it's all personal data, therefore not needing super-confidentiality. If you'd rather keep details private, then share a sample without real numbers, but still enough to give the idea.

    Otherwise it's hard to give any truly helpful (i.e., specific) help. We need to see what you're working with, presumably including some non-recurring expenses, and so on.

    And, please, a copy of the actual workbook, not an image.
