title: mysql sort string as date not as string
body: <p>The DB I inherited stored there dates like:  yyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss</p>
  
  <p>I was hoping to sort by date in my mysql query but it is treating them like a string and sorting accordingly.</p>
  
  <p>Any one know of a way to sort them as a date and not a string in the query itself?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Robert</p>
