Bridge Viewer/Client image rating prog.

Question

I think I may have mentioned something similar in part of another post regarding how useful distributed cache could be. But a big workflow problem has arisen, so I shall specifically request this 'feature'.
At the moment I have over 50G of images to be sorted thru. They are all stills from a film I worked just worked on as well as the behind the scenes stuff. All shot in Canon RAW. The various producers and director want to look at images and select what they want further work on.
I will name, label, keyword [and preselect images I think are best], but still give them everything to choose from. They will then sort out what they want me to process/composite b4 outputting into PSDs, JPEGs, TIFFs etc for various media distributions. They are several hundred miles away so sitting around a computer whilst 3 people argue over which images to select is impractical, nor something I need/have time to partake in.
For the producers to view files they need a cut down Bridge that simply allows them to look at the various digital image file formats [with new types updated automatically] and rate/label/annotate images, in essence Acrobat Reader but for image folders. Bridge Browser maybe, Extensis I believe has a Browser to go with Portfolio, which seems to be like what I mean. Just had a brief try of Portfolio, yuk.
There is no way they will buy Bridge as you can only do so as part of PS which they don't want or even have any use/need for. All they need to do is look at images and place a ranked tick or cross next to them, maybe add a note and send just the amended cache/info back. This could then be added to my own sorting and most definitely not replacing it - Photographer Sort, Producer Sort, Director sort. And maybe the sorts could be combined Venn diagram style to quickly see what we all agreed on.
Many of the people I deal with do not have/need PS, in fact that's why they employ me, hence the need to have some simple, idiot proof way of them viewing images and labelling/annotating them. Being able to view keywords used with all folders to quickly search for say all Tom Cruise but not Jamie Foxx pics they can.
The only other option is to JPEG everything into separate folders and send them down, they shortlist images and stick them in a folder and send them back. I then have to match them with original RAW files. A couple of tedious unnecessary days wasted file sorting.
Any workflow suggestions gratefully received.

You did not mention what version you are using?
In CS3 use the filterpanel and in top of this panel select the small icon
with up and down arrow, in this drop down menu choose sort by date created.
This will give you the natural sort order with date including time in hours
minute and seconds.
In CS4 you can also use the filter panel and choose date created from the
list or use the path bar and click on the sort by line to choose from date
created.
One condition is essential for a correct sort order, the time and date set
on the different camer's should be correct and identical
Excuse the cross-posting on two forums -- I didn't realize Bridge has a
separate forum....
I'd like to sort a large folder full of files by the time of image creation. 
Files were made of an event on several cameras and I'd like to synch them in
order to create a slideshow that makes sense to the viewer/client.  Many
thanks in advance for help.
