To get these to sort, you're going to need to extract/construct a key you can sort on. Since the files are named like
Order_29May11:05.bak
You can extract some sortable pieces by doing
$name =~ s/_(\d\d)(...)(\d\d:\d\d)/;
$key = $month{$2} . $1 . $3;
where %month is a hash that maps the 3 character month abbreviation to a to character numeric string (e.g., 'Jan' => '01', ... 'Dec' => '12').
You can use this within a Schwartzian transform (many examples of which can be found by doing a Super Search on "Schwartzian").

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
