Well they're in YYYYMMDD order already which is convenient.

We tell it to split fields on . then sort on characters 1 through 15 of the third field.

Code:
sort -t. -k 3.1,3.15 < infile > outfile

Hello,
sort list file before or after grep ?

Regard.

It'll work either way, but it'd be much less work to sort after -- less data to sort.
