#371 ClearCase History sort by date not working.

[James]

Step to reproduce

1. Goto ClearCase History view in eclipse
2. Click the Date column (sort by date)

It try to sort using the date string not the actual time. (since the date is in dd-mmm-yy format, the sort order is not the normal expected date time sort. See attachment)

I think that the date is a String so the sort will not work as expected. Is it possible that you can send me the output form:

cleartool lshistory -long <any cc="" element=""></any>

so that I can see the output from the command.

Looking at:https://sourceforge.net/p/clearcase-java/code/ci/master/tree/net.sourceforge.clearcase/src/commandline/net/sourceforge/clearcase/ClearCaseCLIImpl.java#l2189

and line 2179 and we retrive the date as a String and when we later use compare it will not sort in the same order as if it was a Date object. I suggest that we change the parsed string in line 2195 to a date object using:

This is how our date looks like:

2007-09-27T12:35:46+02:00

Or as in reporters case: 01-Apr-08.12:38:04

Fixed and will be in release 2.2.35.
