I only have access to my payslips for a very short time. I have downloaded most of them but there's a discrepancy of about 11 that I've missed. Unfortunately, when I downloaded them (as .pdf files) I named them 'payslip payadvice dd mm yy' so of course they've not been sorted into date order. What I need to know is how to put the payslips that I have into date order so I can compare them to the ones that are on the server that I downloaded them from and pick up the ones I missed. This is really time critical and I have little to no experience with spreadsheets or making .pdf documents (apart from saving documents as .pdf files). I have access to Microsoft Office.
Please step me through this process, keeping in my mind that I have absolutely no idea how to get these files into date order with the way they've been named by using formulas or algorithms in spreadsheets, and I also have no idea about publishing them all as separate pages in a .pdf document in a way that isn't going to take me a month or so.
If you want to perform a Christmas miracle and do this for me because you know how to do it really easily then I would be eternally grateful and would feature you in anecdotes for the rest of my days.
Realistically, giving me somewhere to start that's efficient would be almost as good.
