This is the list of Overviews in The American Record Guide. I want to sort them so that the newest is at the top, and so on down to the oldest.

Possible?

Thanks

1. Do multiple replaces first.
Replace month range with a two digit number, ie: Mar/April becomes 03 or 04

2. Use Regex to realign date components
Find for xx\year
Replace with year\xx

3. Move date component year\xx to beginning of line using RegEx

4. Now you can do the sort.

5. After the sort you could move dates from beginning to end of line again.

==================
This could become a macro and be called with a macro hot key.
