I have a csv file like this: "Task1,Task2",ABC,ABC,Mon 05/22/2009,mbm "Task3,Task4",XYZ,XYZ,Mon 05/20/2009,mbm "Task5,Task6",ABC,ABC,Mon 06/25/2009,mbm "Task7,Task8",ABC,ABC,Mon 03/28/2009,mbm I would like to sort this csv file based on the date (ascending) in the 4th column above to produce an output as follows: "Task7,Task8",ABC,ABC,Mon 03/28/2009,mbm "Task3,Task4",XYZ,XYZ,Mon 05/20/2009,mbm "Task1,Task2",ABC,ABC,Mon 05/22/2009,mbm "Task5,Task6",ABC,ABC,Mon 06/25/2009,mbm I know there will be some modules to do this. Can you guys help me out in both approaches (using modules and without using the modules) Thanks for you response in advance! ~Manjunath
