Since they're YYYY-MM-DD strings, you could also just compare them as strings.
You must put quotes around < > etc. or they will be taken as redirection operators.
That will work with some shells (and with some versions of the stand-alone
/[ utilities), but the only string comparison operators defined for test in the standards are = and !=.
We know that the submitter is using /bin/sh, but that isn't enough to know what operating system is being used nor what shell has been designated as /bin/sh on the submitter's system.

strcasecmp
STRCASECMP(3) BSD Library Functions Manual STRCASECMP(3)NAME
strcasecmp, strncasecmp -- compare strings, ignoring case
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <strings.h>
int
strcasecmp(const char *s1, const char *s2);
int
strncasecmp(const char *s1, const char *s2, size_t len);
DESCRIPTION
The strcasecmp() and strncasecmp() functions compare the nul-terminated strings s1 and s2 and return an integer greater than, equal to, or
less than 0, according to whether s1 is lexicographically greater than, equal to, or less than s2 after translation of each corresponding
character to lower-case. The strings themselves are not modified. The comparison is done using unsigned characters, so that '200' is
greater than '
