A note on datetime formats. The sorting algorithm should recognize ISO8601 and common internet and email formats. The format returned by Twitter is slightly different and requires a format string to allow the sort mechanism to parse correctly. The Twitter format string is demonstrated in examples below.
Providing a hash as the obj, will return an array of the hash keys sorted by the provided parameters (sort by reference)
