Re: sorting date prob

OK, but what if the date element also includes clocktime,
<Information>
    <Date>02/04/02 12:22:09</Date> #yymmdd hhmmss
</Information>

<xsl:sort order="descending" select="Date" />
(for some misc reason the descending results ascending)

Now the result tree isnt again correct. The result is that the messages
posted the same day are also in descending order: the last message first.
Good thing is that the messages are listed correctly by the date.

If I would use asecending the clocktimes are listed correctly, but the 
day listing is wrong. What to do?

 
Is the answer perhaps something like: 
Separate the date and clocktime to be 2 elements
Sort both of them. But how?

<Information>
    <Date>02/04/02</Date> #yymmdd
    <Time>12:22:09</Time> #hhmmss
</Information>
