[REBOL] Sorting an object based on one field.

Hi rebols,

How do you sort objects based on one field within the object.  I keep
running into situations where this would really be helpful.  For instance,
below I want to sort a directory based on date.  The following code doesn't
work, but I give it so you pros can see what I'm trying to do.

dir: []
foreach file read %. [
     info: info? file
     append dir make object! [date: info/date file_name: file]
]

sort dir

foreach di dir [
     if not find di/file_name {/} [
         print di/date
     ]
]

Thanks,
Louis
