SQL-Server-2008R2

i have the following query.Both vdate and vtime are varchar fields in table.

SQL

select (isnull(RTRIM(LTRIM(CONVERT(varchar,convert(datetime,vdate,103),103))),'')+'  '+ isnull(REPLACE(REPLACE(RIGHT('0'+LTRIM(RIGHT(CONVERT(varchar,convert(datetime,vtime,103),100),7)),7),'AM',' AM'),'PM',' PM'),''))
as vdate from table1

which displays vdate column in "08/04/2013 03:00 AM" format
when i sort records in asc/desc order it sorts records according to date only and not the time.I need to sort them according to both date and time.How can i do this?
Plz Help..

add order by vdate asc/desc at the end of above query.i also tried convert(DATETIME,vrdate,103) asc/desc.Not sorting properly.

Have you tried doing this

ORDER BY CAST([date] AS DATETIME) + CAST([time] AS DATETIME) asc

ORDER BY convert(DATETIME,vdate,103) asc,convert(DATETIME,vtime,103) asc worked for me.
