Hi Ahson, You'll really want to store an additional date field (make it a TrieDateField type) that has only the date, and in the reverse order from how you've shown it. You can still keep the one you've got, just use it only for 'human viewing' rather than sorting. Something like: 20080205 if your example is 5 Feb, or 20080502 for May 2nd.
This way, the parsing is most efficient, you won't have to do any tricky parsing at sort time, and, when your index gets large, your sorted searches will remain fast.
