++! Thanks for pointing that out!

Just in case some other people (like I did) gasp and think that everything time is going to roll over to 000000000 on Sept 9th, it won't it will become 1000000000, its just sorting dates without taking this into account will end up with this phenomenon:
042312313 (Apr 15 1970) 1028542120 (Aug 5 2002) 171024424 (Jun 3 1975) 514542121 (Apr 22 1986) 941244212 (Oct 30 1999) 974124124 (Nov 13 2000) 987451241 (Apr 16 2001) 988145259 (Apr 24 2001)
You can probably see the error. So be careful. Thanks tadman

Update: Hmm, I should have followed your link, before posting this. I blame the caffeine!
