I'm having trouble with sorting things into date/time order.
I thought
put "10 June 2004, 10 July 2003, 10 April 2004" into m
sort  items of m dateTime
put m
should do what I want, (i.e. 10 July 2003, 10 April 2004, 10 June 
2004),  but I get
10 June 2004, 10 July 2003, 10 April 2004
If I omit the "dateTime" I get alphabetic sort - i.e.
 10 April 2004, 10 July 2003,10 June 2004
as expected.
Where am I going wrong ?
OK -  got it.
Need to have
  set the useSystemdate to true
and then it works.
I'm not 100% sure why - 10 June 2004 is pretty unambiguous, and doesn't 
change its meaning dependent on what my system date settings are, or on 
whether I use them or USA date interpretations.

But I now have a working script, so I'm relatively happy ...
