Apologies to the list if this isn't plain
text; my corp just switched to Exchange, and I can't force plain
text!

What do you mean by "not the time field?" Perhaps you need to use "cmp" instead of "<=>" (maybe you are; you didn't show any sorting code!) since there are embedded colons, or you need to make sure your hours before 10 have leading zeros so they sort correctly ("hh:mm:ss" implies that they already do, but maybe you didn't mean that).
