There's a lot of things a technically-minded users may *want* to do  
with that sort data. I would posit, though, that the average user  
(who, incidentally, also doesn't really like to read things like  
YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sTZD) doesn't, and is far better served with  
functional buttons/links or Operator-like tools.
