If you specify the actual Date object as the property, it'll get sorted correctly. Write a ColumnDecorator to change the formatting.

Getting the field sorted and displayed in a suitable format is easy. The problem is that the customer wants the date format to follow the odd US convention of MM d, yyyy, e.g. Aug 26, 2004. Since this formatted date is a string, sorting yields results which are not in true date order, rather they are in collating sequence order. Could someone please suggest a process to display the date in the desired format, yet also sort in correct date order? A decorator does not seem to be the solution, but I could be incorrect.
