Theoretically, this should not only be possible, but it
should be pretty straightforward. Unfortunately, at least
in my experience, it all depends on the sources. I have
used MagpieRSS to process many, many feeds and the
consistency (format) and accuracy of the timestamps is
one of the biggest problems. What's that old saying...
garbage in, garbage out?
