code sample
require_once 'excel/PHPExcel.php';
require_once 'excel/PHPExcel/Cell/AdvancedValueBinder.php';
PHPExcel_Cell::setValueBinder( new PHPExcel_Cell_AdvancedValueBinder() );
$objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex(0)
->setCellValue('A1', '12/08/2010')
->setCellValue('A2', '14/12/2013');
Why is that that value binder doesn't recognize that it's a date? Therefore Excel handles the data as string so no sorting :(
