How can i use the (MSDOS) sort function under WinXP?

[Cork Soaker]

Hi,
Under WinXP, my MP3/Musicmatch files are being displayed without the date
field.
I want to find files added after a specific date and was thinking of using
the
DIR>SORT functions in a MSDOS window, sorting on the date.
Dates are displayed in DD.MM.YYYY format here, but I wouldn't even know how
to sort regardless of format, I find the help instructions hard to
understand.
Maybe I'll have to do a DIR>FIND>SORT to achieve what I want?
Havent' used any of those functions except DIR the past twentyfive years.

Easy
on command line just write this
work1.txt = files to sort
w.txt = file sort

sort work1.txt /O w.txt
