title: Sort a list containing dates in string format: MM/DD/YYYY
body: <h2>Issue</h2>
  <p>Below is a list of dates in the string format(MM/DD/YYYY).<br />
  I'm trying to sort them in ascending order(oldest to most-recent date) using <code>.sort()</code> but getting wrong results. <br /></p>
  <h2>List before sort</h2>
  <pre><code>listOfDates = ['07/25/2022', '07/19/2022', '04/19/2022', '02/18/2022', '01/18/2022', '10/20/2021', '10/27/2021', '11/26/2021', '12/23/2021', '01/05/2022', '01/07/2022', '01/18/2022', '01/21/2022', '01/24/2022', '02/24/2022', '02/25/2022', '03/16/2022', '03/25/2022', '04/29/2022', '05/10/2022', '05/11/2022', '05/31/2022', '06/08/2022', '06/10/2022', '06/13/2022', '06/14/2022', '07/14/2022']
  </code></pre>
  <h2>Results using <code>listOfDates.sort()</code></h2>
  <p>The problem here is that it appears to be sorting by month and not chronologically.
  Notice it starts at <code>01/05/2022</code> and goes up to <code>07/25/2022</code> and then continues at <code>10/20/2021</code> until ending <code>12/23/2021</code></p>
  <pre><code>['01/05/2022', '01/07/2022', '01/18/2022', '01/18/2022', '01/21/2022', '01/24/2022', '02/18/2022', '02/24/2022', '02/25/2022', '03/16/2022', '03/25/2022', '04/19/2022', '04/29/2022', '05/10/2022', '05/11/2022', '05/31/2022', '06/08/2022', '06/10/2022', '06/13/2022', '06/14/2022', '07/14/2022', '07/19/2022', '07/25/2022', '10/20/2021', '10/27/2021', '11/26/2021', '12/23/2021']
  </code></pre>
  <h2>Expecting</h2>
  <p>That the dates are ordered in the list by descending order with the first element starting <code>10/20/2021</code> and the final element in the list is <code>07/25/2022</code></p>
