Ernie asks:

There's gotta be an easier way.  If I use the above sort, output to a self
describing file, could I then extract data from that file using the
DUPLICATE NONE KEYS command to get the most recent entry?

I'd sort the file using the duplicate none key (with date as the sort key)
statement in DESCENDING order, that way the record(s) at the start of the
file are the newest ones added by date.
