Folks,

I have this little sort routine

##
## UGLY HACK to sort the dates correctly
##
   ($name, $date, $time, $wonid, $cheat, $server) = split(/\|/, $a);
   ($wday,$month,$mday,$year) = split(/\s+/, $date);
   ($hour,$min,$secs) = split(/:/, $time);
   $TIME = timelocal($secs,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year);

   ($name2, $date2, $time2, $wonid2, $cheat2, $server2) = split(/\|/, $b);
   ($wday2,$month2,$mday2,$year2) = split(/\s+/, $date2);
   ($hour2,$min2,$secs2) = split(/:/, $time2);
   $TIME2 = timelocal($secs2,$min2,$hour2,$mday2,$mon2,$year2);
##
##
##
   # sort values
   if ($table_sort eq  "adate") { return $TIME <=> $TIME2; }
   elsif ($table_sort eq  "ddate") { return $TIME2 <=> $TIME; }
   elsif ($table_sort eq "name") { return $name <=> $name2; }
   elsif ($table_sort eq "wonid") { return $wonid <=> $wonid2; }
   elsif ($table_sort eq "cheat") { return $cheat <=> $cheat2; }
}

yes, it is ugly (needs clean up)

not sure why, but the output is not sorted as I would expect. I thought it
would sort on the unix time and put thing in order, but it does not. the
dates are sorted by the day of the month *boggle* for out put go here
