The date format does not allow correct sorting for exported call histories nor SMS message history.

This is both a query soliciting solutions and a suggestion for 
developers if I have not overlooked an easy solution.

I have BitPim version 1.0.7 running under Windows XP Pro and connected 
to a LG VX9100 (env²).  It works fine.

When I export from the SMS or the call history log the date comes into 
the *.csv  file in the format _2011-07-26 01:17pm_ (yyyy-mm-dd 
hh:mmam/pm) which unfortunately does not sort correctly as it is a text 
sort.
If the export format were _7/26/2011 01:17 pm_ instead it still would 
not sort chronologically correct (in fact, as a text file, it would be 
worse) *BUT* (and that's a big but) it would both import and sort 
correctly into Excel or MS Access which would be a huge plus.

It would save a lot of time massaging the csv file to archive the data 
in the correct chronological sequence.

Thanks for a nice product even if a bit of a challenge to initially 
decipher if things don't go well.  I still haven't figured out how to 
search the archives so I apologize if this has a well known solution 
that I just don't know yet.

Sincerely,
Dave Ussell
