How can I sort time inside list(time)?

So, I regex time from my splunk logs in form of (HH:MM:SS), and I am trying to build the report like

index: something
| regex Time
| regex Date
| regex User
| stats list( (regex)Time) by (regex)Date, (regex)User

Unfortunately, the list of (regex)Time is not showing up in orderly manner. How can I make this ordering in ascending manner?

Thanks in advance!

Sorry. This actually works, but the data has to be sorted prior putting it inside the list. So, I have to use the sort prior stats like below.

| sort - currentTime
| stats list( (regex)Time) by (regex)Date, (regex)User

This doesn't work to sort data inside list. I tried.

This doesn't work. I use it like below.

| stats list( (regex)Time) as theTime by (regex)Date, (regex)User
| sort - theTime

The output is still looking like below.
