SQL will recognize that as time if you use the following command

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Convert(datetime,[fieldname])
Once converted you can use it in an order by statement, and 1:30PM occurs after 10:30AM like it should.

It will add on a default date, but if your only worried about the time that doesnt matter.

You can strip that off if needs be using substring.
