Comparing dates in java gives incorrect results

I am comparing dates using the following code

String sCreatedDate = "30.07.201514:57:03";
String sModifiedDate = "30.07.201515:40:34";            
SimpleDateFormat parser = new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyyHH:MM:SS");

Date d1 = parser.parse(sCreatedDate);
Date d2 = parser.parse(sModifiedDate);         
System.out.println(d1.before(d2));

      

        
        
        
      

    

It prints false

, but I expect it to print true

.

Could you please explain to me what I am doing wrong in this code?

However, the above code works fine for below dates and prints the true value:

String sCreatedDate = "23.07.201507:25:35";
String sModifiedDate = "23.07.201507:26:07";
