sorting dates
How do I sort dates such as 5/2/2019 and 5/2/2020 when the only sorting field is A to Z and Z to A?

First you need to convert texts which represent dates into actual dates. In Excel in background date are integer numbers. You may select column with such texts, on ribbon Data->Text to Columns and on third step of the wizard select Date and MDY (or DMY, I don't know in your sample it's 2nd of May or 5th of Feb).
With that sorting will show "From oldest to newest" or like.
