Question : ORDER GMT with CST ?

If I've got a table full of a mix of both GMT and CST datetime stamp data.  What's the right way to query said table, ordering the data back and/or presenting it all as CST?  Let me clarify --- see, some of our incoming datasources are GMT while others are CST.  Some time back we built a conversion in higher up the chain such that we can keep all data in the db as CST, and order the data by time.  I'd like to pull that datetime conversion as it sort of invalidates our actual chain of events.  I'd like the data to contain the actual/correct timestamp, whether GMT or CST.  But, how could I properly order/present said data by time?  Is that possible?

Answer : ORDER GMT with CST ?

One idea is to have another column in your table, the time in CST.  In addition to this column you have the actual timestamp that the record was given.  When you report yuo can sort it by the CST time and display the CST/GMT times.
