* Problem 1

I imported this column from a CVS file, so the date format was already chosen.
 
|       Date |
|------------|
| 05.05.2020 |
| 07.01.2021 |
| 07.01.2021 |
| 07.05.2020 |
| 09.03.2021 |
| 12.05.2020 |
| 13.02.2020 |
| 13.03.2020 |
| 13.03.2020 |
| 14.05.2020 |
| 15.02.2021 |
| 15.02.2021 |
| 17.02.2020 |
| 17.04.2020 |
| 20.04.2020 |
| 22.04.2020 |
| 23.06.2020 |
| 24.02.2021 |
| 24.04.2020 |
| 25.09.2020 |
| 25.11.2020 |

I'd like to sort these dates, but when I do that numerically it does not work as expected, any idea what to do.


* Problem 2
I'd like to order the column below descending 

|   Income |
|----------|
|   837.00 |
|   681.71 |
|   664.16 |
|   499.46 |
|   316.64 |
|   258.30 |
|   258.30 |
|   258.30 |
|   187.52 |
|   173.15 |
|   170.87 |
|   163.50 |
|   127.76 |
|   117.00 |
|    94.80 |
|    91.00 |
| 2.852.21 |
| 2.401.74 |
| 1.912.16 |
| 1.735.14 |
| 1.480.87 |
| 1.407.73 |

But again it does not work.

Any idea what to do?

regards

Uwe Brauer
