I need to be able to sort (date order) a managed metadata column in SharePoint online. Is this possible? I haven't been able to figure it out.

Thanks for responding! Where I need to sort is in a document library and the metadata column is multiple lines of text. From what I've seen, that is one of the fields you can't sort on, although I certainly don't understand why. We have been filling in descriptions, beginning with a date, hoping to use the ability to sort to create a chronology. If you have any "secret tips," I'd love to hear!

@ConnieH_456 as far as I can recall it has never been possible to sort on a managed metadata column.

Susan, thank you for your response! Here is an example of an entry in a metadata (multiple lines of text) field:
"2018-08-27 New Order – 105 kits will arrive tomorrow"
I need to be able to sort on the date; I'm not sure how the calculated column needs to be set up to do this. So, I guess basically what I want is for the new column to pull the date into another column that I can sort on. Does that make sense? I truly appreciate your help.
