20th Century Events Sorting Challenge

You begin with two 20th century events shown in the grid. Upon starting, your job is to sort the events in order from earliest to most recent. The order is represented by the '1st' thru '25th' in each box. You can click on an event's image to move it to an earlier position in the list - simply click once and it will turn red, then click another earlier event to position the first event before it. Click submit to check your answers...if they are in order you will get a new event added to the end which needs to be positioned correctly, and so on until you either get one wrong or complete all 15 levels.
