I know you have already seen a lot of suggestions. But just for the kicks, here's a sort based on the Schwartzian Transform. 
#!/usr/bin/perl
# http://perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=792392

use strict;

my $string;
while( my $line = <DATA>) {
    my $date = (split( /\Q.\E/, $line ))[1];
    $string = $string . $date . " " . $line;
}

my @test = map { $_->[0] }
           sort { $a->[1] cmp $b->[1] }
           map { [$_, (split)[0]] }
           split( /\n/, $string);

print join "\n", map { (split)[1] } @test;
