Sorting data file by date and time
Hello.

Sorting data file by date and time with the following issues:
Date is in the following format m/d/yyyy, no leading zeros
Time is in the following format h:m:s AM/PM, no leading zeros

Any ideas on how to sort data when the above issues?
Could the date/time be converted inline to seconds, sorted, and end up in the results with the original format.

I cannot find an easy way to do this with sort, awk ...
