I made a list containing cartoon network shows. I want to sort by release date (1st episode release date) but they are not being sorted correctly. Powerpuff Girls should not be before Dexters Lab.

Please resolve.

Hi Zantar,

ACT_1 is correct, the reason that you are seeing Powerpuff Girls before Dexter's Lab is because the original episode, although not part of the series run on Cartoon Network, predates the first episode of Dexter's Lab:

Ok that makes sense.

Also is your picture being Dexter of all things just a pure coincidence or did you change it for this post? xD

He has used that avatar for several months now. Before it was a picture of one of the townsfolk grownups from South Park.

It's weird, since the pilots of several of those series debuted as part of the "What a Cartoon" program.
