You might notice that a lot of your entries so far did not bother to include a build date (probably because they didn't know where (or care) to look for it, so I would be wary about using that field to sort on.
You should definitely ask for the full VIN when people enter data which will certainly help weed out spurious entries.

You know, though, that once you have that, you have the info to reconstruct the whole VIN with ease, right?
