Thank you, Jacqueline.
Actually, both work on my home Mac, which suggests to me that
Revolution did not pick up the changes to my system settings at
work. Perhaps I needed to quit the program and boot it back up again.

Hello again,
There's obviously something I don't understand about sorting. I
typed
this into the message box.
set useSystemDate to true
set the itemDelimiter to tab
put \
1 & tab & "01/10/1999 5:54 AM" & return & \
2 & tab & "30/09/1999 9:16 PM" & return & \
3 & tab & "15/08/1999 8:23 PM" into d
sort lines of d dateTime by second item in each
put d
And I get this back.

Revolution isn't treating the dates as strings; otherwise the order
would be 1, 3, and 2, which it is when I omit dateTime from the
direction of the sort. I checked to make sure that my system date
format is dd/mm/yyyy and that the time uses a twelve-hour clock.
Any thoughts?
Try this syntax:
sort lines of d dateTime by item 2 of each
