not the date just the time. 1:00 am, 2:00 am, 3:00 am etc. exactly like that as text

It's be much easier if you just entered the time using 00 through 23 for the hours and then sort it by minutes using 00 through 59. Or just convert it all into minutes and mod it by 60.
well if it is a pain in the butt i got to get it done.
haha. i was just looking at that but i cant make sense of it right now
Google it.. Not that difficult. http://www.java2s.com/Tutorial/MySQL/0280__Date-Time-Functions/TIMEFORMATtimeformat.htm
obviously it is that difficult. i understand the the time_format(time, '%I:%i%p'). but where do i get time from and how do i write the query in php.
this is new to me and i dont know how to do it. there is not much on google besides that post to help me along
can someone help me with this again. i never did figure it out. this is my query that i need to sort in time order with am/pm
