Look into the strftime method.  It can format dates however you like to 
see them.

 As for sorting, you can call a list objects sort function and pass a 
comparison function as an argument.  Define this sort function in the 
same script as your getMember script, if you'd like.  Something like:

def memberCompare(a, b) :
  #you'll get two list items from roster as a and b.
  # compare and return -1, 0 or 1.

...rest of getMembers..then...

return roster.sort(memberCompare)

Hope that helps.
