Step1)In a new column (column e) lookup using the following formula:

=VLOOKUP(A1,C: D,2,false)

run this formula for all your 1200 rows

Step 2) Select all cells and sort by column e

/Done. takes 30 seconds
Given =VLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array, col_index_num, [range_lookup]), I think you have the lookup_value and table_array flipped.

It should be =VLOOKUP(C1, A:B,2,"false").

The way you have it, you won't find the two bolded dates (from column A) in column C.
