  • That only looks like one format to me, and a simple lexical sort will work on it. – cdhowie Dec 06 '10 at 11:04

Since you are using ISO date formats you can simply sort them lexically.

var dates = [
    '2010-11-08 18:58:50',
    '2010-11-09 17:49:42',
    // and so on...
];

dates.sort();

The dates are already in a form that is suitable for sorting. So all you need to do is call array.sort().
