I used a Word 2010 page to build a table.
If that is not a Word Table could you please tell me what a word table is?

If you have a look at your post, there is no table as such - just multiple lines of text. Whether what you have in your document is in a table - and what its structure might be - cannot be seen from that.

They are dates in the format that is used in England so could you please tell how I could set them out so that dates or not they will be capable of sorting?

Since when is a '23.061976' date in
any country? Similarly, '1976' is
not a
date - it is merely a number. You might interpret it as a date, but it could just as easily be a part number. To a computer, it's nothing more than a number.

I'm not clear as to what is a number sort. Could you please elaborate?

To understand how a number sort works, visualize your dates as not having the periods. In such a scenario, a number sort for:
02.08.1974
23.12.1974
01.05.1976
11.06.1976
18.07.1977
would return the same as:
01051976
02081974
11061976
18071977
23121974
(note the re-ordering)
