RE: last(): selecting the last one?

The situation is a bit more complex than that and I did not express my
self clearly....  

The sorting is done by this kind of syntax:
Sort the topics by date and then sort by clocktime. The final 
soring is done by the topic. (actually the sorting is more
complex, but this here needs so far)So the message 
order is actually like this:
 

   message0 11.10.2001 05:56 topic:harjoitus
   message1 12.10.2001 09:45 topic:re:harjoitus
   message2 13.10.2001 06:23 topic:re:harjoitus
   message3 12.10.2001 11:34 topic:kysmys 
   message4 12.10.2001 12:45 topic:re:kysmys  
   
 and so on...

So, if I sort them by that, the order is broken. Can this be done by using 
some kind of idea like: 
check the attribute values time and clock (in that order) and select the
one which has "highest value" in both of them?
