5.4.1.38. isoDate
Returns a String formatted into ISO date format, yyyy-dd-mmThh:mm:ss.uuuuuu.

5.4.1.39. utcIsoDate
Returns a String formatted into a fully qualified ISO date format. If the timezone offiset is 0, the format
is yyyy-dd-mmThh:mm:ss.uuuuuuZ.

The text for the isoDate and utcIsoDate methods describes the "ISO date format" as yyyy-dd-mm. NB also "offiset".

Afaik, ISO8601 is sortable, yyyy-mm-dd

I should point out the isoDate and utcIsoDate methods appear to produce yyyy-mm-dd results

The implementation is correct, this is just a typo in the docs.

[r8583] Both trunk and 4.1 bug branch.

This bug is fixed in the ooRexx 4.1.3 release.
