Hi guys... I've been trying to do this for ages. Maybe you can help.

I have log files like the examples below and I have grepped out certain lines from the files so that I can get an idea of who is logging on and how. So now I have the information in a new file but it is now in a different order according to what was grepped first and last and I'd like to sort the data according to the date and time. Which is in the format 27-May-2007 00:43:18.28.

The sort command didn't work, has anyone got any ideas?
