Convert Time to Number

I have data that is time-stamped with the date and time as a number.  I can convert that to date and time without any problem.  It's also in GMT time and I can convert the date and time to local time.  What I'm having trouble with is I want to ad a slider object so the user can select a time range.  I can do this but my time range is represented in GMT.  I'm in the Eastern time zone (GMT - 5) so my slider goes from 7:00 PM to 6:59 AM and I would like it to go from 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM local time, of course.  I've tried sorting my slider different ways but I cannot seem to get it to work.  This is my slider field

=Time(ConvertToLocalTime(Frac([Date Time(RAW)])))

where [Date Time (RAW)] is the numeric value of the date and time of the data.

I've tried sorting on this same expression without any luck.  Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks.
