xml sort date time
Yes. It is correct to be in the format yymmdd, because that is the ISO 
standard. And yes, everyone does not care about standards, but I have to.
So I will chance the format in the database, since it is possible 
for us at the moment.

Yes, thank U. If it was not possible for us to chance the format in DB, this 
would be a marvelous solution.
