The Query
"Select * from ( SELECT (convert(varchar, [InTime], 103))as Date FROM CarEnteries
Union SELECT (convert(varchar, [OutTime], 103)) as Date FROM CarEnteries)
a order by (convert(DateTime, [Date], 103)) asc"

Select * from ( SELECT (convert(varchar, [InTime], 103))as Date FROM CarEnteries
Union SELECT (convert(varchar, [OutTime], 103)) as Date FROM CarEnteries)
Where (convert(DateTime, [Date], 103)) BETWEEN '08-05-2012' and '01-07-2012'

because you have converted the date to string. And you are doing a string comparision in your where clause.
You should leave it as datetime data type. Also specify your date string in YYYY-MM-DD format


Select * 
from 
( 
      SELECT [InTime]  as Date FROM CarEnteries
Union SELECT [OutTime] as Date FROM CarEnteries
)a
WHERE [Date] BETWEEN '2012-05-08' and '2012-07-01'
order by [Date] asc

and keep in mind that you will still be able to apply format functions in your front end application and get date values in format you want. you dont need to alter datatypes at sql end for that
