title: Sorting Dates in CouchDB Views
body: <p>I have a nested JSON object for the key <strong>status</strong> below:</p>
  
  <p><code>{<br>
     "2011-01-19 09:41:00 AM": "Prototyping status application",<br>
     "2011-01-20 09:41:00 AM": "Playing with CouchDB"<br>
  }</code></p>
  
  <p>It's a little application where user can enter his/her status. I want to get the most recent status from it. Is this approach good for such applications, or do I have to have a key that defines sort order? </p>
  
  <p>What's the best way to get the most recent date?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
