Having discovered that your past refusal to store date information in a
database as date information means that the database can't sort it in
date order, you're giving up on this one.

Note that you have in fact been given an example of how to get mysql to
sort your richardian string representation of date by actual date order,
by adding a conversion in the order by clause that converts the richardian
string representation of date into a true date that mysql can sort on.
When you ask how to do this again in a few days / weeks / months / aeons,
I reserve the non-exclusive[1] right to say "see the previous discussion
about this".

Given that we're talking about mysql, presumably the table you're
referring to is the database table. You should probably be using the
appropriate quoting and escaping functions that exist in the programming
environment that you are using to generate sql, rather than inventing
your own based on your flawed understanding of what needs to be done.
