Is it possible to sort a string containing a date?

Question

PHP

There is a json file where the date is written. But I do it very primitively - I just write it into a string (example: [[{"date":"5 January 2005"}],[{"date":"5 March 2005"}]).
Can I sort the date somehow?

Answer 1

You can. Convert dates to standard YYYY-MM-DD format and sort as regular strings.

Answer 2

yeah, I found the strtotime() function, which should help me, thanks)
