James,
Rather than rewriting the comparators, I simply send the number of seconds
since '1/1/1990 00:00:00' back from my data call (via stored procedure date
arithmetic) along with my timestamp. By using the sortpath attribute on the
gridcolumn, the text column then sorts by the numeric number of seconds.
<gridcolumn width="175" sortpath="@secondsStart">
<text datapath="@startTime" resize="true" />
</gridcolumn>
As to your second question, I *believe* that you need to iterate.

gridcolumn allows you to modify the comparators used in sorting. Check out
Antun's post from June 2002 -

?threadid=1068
That refers to the following code -

I'll let somebody else to address your second grid question.
