Date format not imported

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to import a date dimension from a SQL table. The problem is that the when importing directly into Power Pivot, the date format from the date base turns into a text format and the sorting is not the same as in the data base.
Using Power Query instead, everything looks ok in the Power Query window and the data type and sorting is correct, and when loading the data to Power Pivot or an Excel table the format seems to be correct, but not the sorting, even when I
set the sorting in Power Query. Why is that? Shouldn't the sorting be the same when the data is loaded? And why is the format not correctly imported to Power Pivot when not using Power Query? 
I have windows 7 with Swedish as locale and office 2013 professional plus and I have the latest version of Power Query installed.
Brgds,

Yes, I tried to set the data type to date in Power Pivot and that works, was just surprised that Power Pivot don't import the format and sort order from the date base. Would be a nice feature.
Curt, I assume this is what you mean?
let
    Source = Sql.Databases("XXXXXX"),
    SLAMJunc = Source{[Name="XXXXX"]}[Data],
    dbo_DimDate = XXXXXX{[Schema="dbo",Item="DimDate"]}[Data],
    SortedRows = Table.Sort(dbo_DimDate,{{"Date", Order.Ascending}})
in
    SortedRows
Also, the data type is set to Date in Power Query but when I load the data into Power Pivot it is shown as Date/Time. Non of this is a big thing and it is easy to handle, just slightly annoying when I didn't get the result I was expecting.
