I have a small problem.. I need to sort some rows on a Time field, but
the time in these rows are recorded on evenings and nights, from 2200 to
0600 for instance. The problem is that the time after midnight should
come after the time before midnight, i.e. 2315, 2345, 0015, 0100 should
be sorted in this order and not 0015, 0100, 2315,2345.
Is there a solution to this, other than using Timestamp instead of Time?

Regards,

BTJ
