I have several thousand objects with string property in the format of "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ". I want to sort these objects ordered by time.

Is there any useful packages or scripts for this ?

(currently I'm just comparing individual numeric values and it seems it's not very efficient and neat)

Since TIMESTAMP in mysql is stored as a 32bit value representing the time interval from 1970-jan-1 0:00:00 in seconds, I assumed that using minus (-) operator on TIMESTAMP values would give the difference of these values in seconds.
