I am not sure what you are looking for?.. .Algorithm?... Commercial
sofware?... Something like this

http://www.softtruck.com/faq's.htm

http://www.topseng.com/

http://www3.sympatico.ca/harry.clark/truck.htm

and tons of other...

If algorithms, see, for example, David Pissinger's page

http://www.diku.dk/~pisinger/publications/sort_date.html

If the above is not what you are looking for, then why?..
