Assuming all data is in XX:XX?M or X:XX?M format, you could do:

SELECT ;
  LEFT(PADL(timefield,7),2)+RIGHT(PADL(timefield,7),2)+SUBSTR(PADL(timefield,7),4,2) AS timesort,;
  * ;
FROM ;
  mytable ;
ORDER BY ;
  1 ;
INTO ;
  CURSOR result

This will construct a "timesort" field that will consist of the Hour, then the AM/PM part, then the minutes. So 10:45AM will come out "10AM45" and 7:30AM will come out " 7AM30"

Then you can do a COPY TO...FIELDS to copy out only the fields that you want in your final file.

Will this work for you?
