There are two different questions: what to show on the screen, and how to store data.
For example, standart format for date in Russia dd-mm-yy.
But I always store like yymmdd - more useful for calculations, sorting and so on.
Why not to convert time to 24h format ?
Seriously, if they are strings in an array, I would create a second array of the same size and store either a "seconds" value (a LONG integer from 0-86,400) or a 24-hour time (a string from 00:00 to 23:59) as Semen suggested. Actually, since only hours and minutes are shown, you could store a "minutes" value in an INTEGER array. In any event, you would then use ARRAY SORT on the second array and use TAGARRAY to sort the original data in the same order.
Whichever method you choose, you will need some kind of conversion function to convert the "people time" values into a sortable format.
