Hi guys, I am trying to convert a string to Date but cannot find a solution. so that is why i need your help.
I am getting date from api response as follows,

03/08/2022

but i am unable to change it to Date, i want to sort an array on basis of Date so that is why i am doing this if anyone can help me to sort an assoc Array without changing it to date that will be more helpful,
Thanks in advance.

' You can't sort an associative array. Values are accessed via their keys

' To convert a string to a Date object:

date = CreateObject("roDateTime") ' creates date object with current date

print(date.AsDateString("long-date")) ' prints Saturday August 6, 2022

dateString = "2022-03-08 00:00:00.000" ' string must be in ISO8601 format

date.FromISO8601String(dateString)

print(date.AsDateString("long-date")) ' prints Tuesday March 8, 2022
