sorting internet dates chronologically

[Alex Tweedly]

Warning : untested .... typed straight into email not in the IDE

write a function like
function returnAsSeconds p
   convert p to seconds
   return p
end returnAsSeconds

and then do something like
    sort lines of myVar by returnAsSeconds(item 1 of each)
(or whatever ..)
