WTF?

Why the restrictions? What are you really trying to accomplish here?

Looking at your posts you're not even consistant with the format of the dates in question...

Read the doco for the sort function and take a look at the ability to define a function that sort will use to do its thing. Give that a try and come back to us and show us some code.

Everybody has to believe something... I believe I'll pour another beer....
