With the time in the Memo field (with an appropriate preposition), try
one of these sentences:

[P] was born <[M]> <[DD]> <[L]>
[P] was born <[DD]> <[L]> <[M]>

For twins, or other multiple births, you'll have to modify the sort dates
to put them in the sequence you want.
By the way, 21 May 1851 was Wednesday. <g> The [DD] variable takes care
of that.
