Order by Datetime

[mike55]

I have a datetime column in a table, I am performing a select statement on the table and ordering by the datetime column. Previously the order of the data was correct as all the dates were in 2007. However the last few days have seen the introduction of 2008 dates. As a result, the order of the dates as slightly off in that 2008 dates appear at the bottom of the list while 2007 dates appear at the top. Here is the query that I am using:

SELECT     dbo.Timesheets.Id, CONVERT(varchar, dbo.Timesheets.[Date], 103) AS [Date], dbo.Timesheets.Hours, 
			dbo.Timesheets.Comments,  dbo.Timesheets.Offsite,  dbo.ParentProjects.Name as Parent, dbo.ChildProject.Name as Child, 
				dbo.Timesheets.Hour, dbo.Timesheets.Minute, CONVERT(varchar, Hour) + : + CONVERT(varchar, Minute) AS times
	FROM         dbo.Timesheets INNER JOIN
             		         dbo.StaffList ON dbo.Timesheets.Employee = dbo.StaffList.EmployeeId INNER JOIN
		                      dbo.ParentProjects ON dbo.Timesheets.Parent = dbo.ParentProjects.ProjectID INNER JOIN
			                      dbo.ChildProject ON dbo.Timesheets.Child = dbo.ChildProject.MProjectID
	WHERE     (dbo.StaffList.Username = @Employee)
	ORDER BY dbo.Timesheets.[Date] DESC, Id Desc, times

Solved the problem, by changing the order by statement to the following:

ORDER BY DATEDIFF(WEEK, 2003-05-24, dbo.Timesheets.Date) DESC, Id Desc, times

What data type are the dates stored as?
