    Hi, maclura , no worries, those other before July are not gone with the wind; but the mechnism under the hood is not clear.

Thank you CNENFRNL . 
If I was a little more savvy, I would have to get there on my own. But I agree with you, why generated dates are sorted in that way?

After some other tests, I think it should be something related to a chaching mechanism.
In fact, sorting issues happen not only with rows, but also with columns, when you add more columns into the formula. The new columns are created regardless of their position in the formula.
If you create a new date table, when you run the formula the first time, columns are created in the order they appear into the formula.
