Subject: sorting and merging files

I've gotten into a bit of a bind on sorting. A little explanation:
I've been working at keeping the ~/org directory of three machines
syncronized through a master repo on a USB flash drive. I've made a bit of
progress, and for simple updates, it is basically working. I still don't
grok merging conflicts. I've finally ended up with a file with duplicates
of entries, so I thought of concatenating files, then sorting these
entries. Each entry has a date (made from a remember template), so sorting
by date makes sense.
Ideally, one should be able to do this, and then sort with C-u C-u C-c^.
I've tried this several times, and gotten bitten almost every time. I guess
the dates can only be sorted as text. And duplicates are not removed. I
read the manual, but little help was gotten there.
What do I need to know to make sorting work, and what I might be doing
wrong?
Thanks for previous suggestions.
Alan
