Okay, i've apropos'ed, checked the manual, browsed my local sources,
and looked through the elisp archives, and i still haven't found a
solution: 

any suggestions for how to sort a dired buffer by _date_?

Seems a little tough on the surface, since sort-columns appears to use
a sort utility which won't do month names properly: i could have sworn i saw
some code to do this before, but since i can't find it, if you've got
a solution, please post/mail.
