Say for instance I have an array of dates in string format dates = ['06/12/08', '11/11/06', '01/01/07'] I want to sort this array in ascending order without using Ruby's built-in date class. Is there a way of doing this? Just started Ruby and I'm pretty much a newbie. I tried the sort!, but it sorts only by day. Thanks Rob -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
