if you convert the date to unix time, you can simply compare unix time which number is greater, if the dates are not the same convert them to unix time and compare which number is bigger, that would be the quickest thing to do, without parsing formating, you can also convert them to 20230220092225 format '%Y%m%dH%M%S'. see also this unix.stackexchange.com/questions/84381/…
