"How to sort an array?" See `perldoc -f sort`.


I have a string array, for example @SampleArray, with the date and
time stamp included.

You effectively want to isolate the first two of a group. For an
undisclosed reason you have decided that you want to use an array for
that.

You need to sort the data, on column 1+2, but your column 2 contains
strange time value representations, so you better fix those first.
