IT45123: PCOMM V15.0 - FTP CLIENT DOES NOT SUPPORT SORT ON DATE IN USS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• User is trying to use FTP Client of PCOMM v15 (and also tried on
  earlier versions).
  
  But when choosing a directory in the USS, and trying to sort the
  files by "Date", it appears the function is not working.
  
  Sorting by "Name" or "Size" on the other hand works, but not by
  "Date".
