You have received good answers.
For the next project, I suggest that you use a date format which sorts
naturally. ISO's format is nice:
YYYYMMDD
or, if you like separators
YYYY-MM-DD
Either will sort as text with no hassle...as a bonus Finder will
present
them in order for you without bothering to change from alphabetic
sorting in
that folder.

A/UX)
Thanks to all who sent in excellent examples. My question was answered
in many different ways. I see how the YYYYMMDD would be a good option.
This community of Scripters have amazing talent. Thanks for sharing you
expertise.
-->Steven
