that you mention it, I'm not sure if this is true in Radiant,
although it is
the case with another CMS that I have used. I did wonder about
adding a
field, called "occurs_on", and using it in the way you described
above, but
in the end I thought it simpler to just use the Reorder extension.
It might make sense for that to be a part of the core, but it will
change the behavior.
Radiant just checks if there is a published date, but doesn't care
what it is.
The scheduler extension adds some nice features which allows you to
set pages to appear and disappear on given dates
http://github.com/radiant/radiant-scheduler-extension/tree/master
Given the features that scheduler adds, I think it makes sense to
leave the default Radiant behavior as is, but it's not entirely
intuitive, so perhaps it should be rethought.
