Hi,

How could I do a multi sort i.e first sort by date, then sort by time, then print only the entries for todays date from the file

Below is how the file looks like: 
Date        Time      Tag
08-13-2013 19:22:16  Yes
08-13-2013 18:22:17  No
08-13-2013 21:22:17  Yes
08-13-2013 20:22:16  Yes
08-13-2013 23:22:18  Yes
08-13-2013 22:22:17  No
08-14-2013 01:22:17  Yes
08-14-2013 00:22:18  Yes
08-14-2013 03:22:19  No
08-14-2013 02:22:18  Yes
08-14-2013 05:22:28  No
08-14-2013 04:22:29  Yes

08-14-2013 08:22:19  Yes
08-14-2013 11:22:19  Yes
08-14-2013 10:22:20  No
08-14-2013 13:22:20  Yes
