Use Find & Replace to convert " (" and "-" to tabs, then convert text to
table (which will put the start date into its own column), sort on that
column, then reverse the process. Or just do it manually, with select and
drag. The list isn't all that long anyway.

Can I cronologically sort the names of U.S Presidents with their years in
office in Word under the Table columns? It seem sorting can only be done
by
alphabetically not numerically.
