Well I am not sure how accurately 'sort' method would work, you would have to check it out by yourself. But if it does.

 

then suppose your list of date is 'datelist' then

 

datelist = datelist.sort();

 

date minDate = datelist.get(0);

date maxDate = datelist.get(datelist.size()-1);

 

would provide you with minimum and maximum date.

Hi,

 

Simply do a 'sort' on the list of dates. Fetch the first element then, it will be the mimimum one.

 

http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/Content/apex_methods_system_list.htm , look for sort.

 

Hope this helps.
