Software and driver problems
For some programs, dates cannot be sorted in correct order.
Solution:
Some programs developed before the year 2000 use only the last two digits of a year to sort dates, assuming
the first two digits are 19. Consequently, dates cannot be sorted in correct order nowadays. Check with your
software manufacturer to see if any updates are available. Many software manufacturers make updates
available from the World Wide Web.
