What is the format of the date before you set it in the dataprovider? If you already have the date in a numeric format similar to what is returned by Date.getTime(), then take a look at Peter Ent's approach. The idea is to set the dataprovider with numeric time value to preserve the sort order, and then use a cell renderer to format the field for display purposes. Worked nicely for me, since I already had dates provided as millisecond values throughout the backend code.
