sort pygtk gtktreeview column containing dates

[psaroudakis]

Hello... I have been trying to sort a gtktreelist column that contains
dates in the following format:

eg: 01-Jan-1993
     12-Dec-1992 etc

i don't seem to be able to find any other solution than using dates in
the format "YYYY-MM-DD" which is something i am trying to avoid..

Is there something very trivial that I am missing/overlooking? any
suggestions?

Thanks,

Nik
