That will work, as long as you convert the string representation into
something that will sort chronologically (e.g. mxDateTime).

I missed the beginning of this thread, so perhaps this was already
discussed, but I'm a bit unclear why you should need to sort an Apache log
file by date/time, since it should already be in chronological order.
