Mike,

  I don't know that mm/dd/yy is the "right" way, but it's worked for me
consistently. That's what I see when I fire up the application and all dates
sort properly. I believe that for most of us allowing the first two digits
of the year to default to the current century will work just fine. IOW, use
only the last two digits of the year.

HTH,

Rich
