Difference Between Dates

I have a Transactoin Table that holds the following fields:

TransID (*Primary Key Numerical Value)
OrderID (Non Unique Number Value, One Order can have multiple Transactions attributed to it.
Status (Numerical Value ranging from 0 to 32, each is a different phase in the life of a transaction such as 0 means Transation Created, 1 through 31 are various actions with 32 beign the transaction closing)
Date (The date in which a particular phase of a particular transaction happened.)
Reason (The Description of a phase. This is the only text field whose contents are relative to the Status field in the same table.)

I need to find the amount of time passed from the first Transaction to the last transaction of each individual order, which will be displayed in a report. Unfortunately not every order goes through all 32 phases, in fact most dont. The individual orders have a random amount of phases that they go through but each have a starting one (which ranges from 0 onwards) and an ending one (once again it is not necessarily 32). The dates correspond to the numbers in an individual order which means that if an order has the following phases:

1
2
4
6
Then the dates of each phase will be one after the other like the Status Number as shown above. Anybody knows how to do this? I need to find how much time passed from the first transaction to the last for each individual order qand display it in a report.
