I don't think Mike wants tiddler-creation-timestamp. The way I understand Mike's question is that he doesn't always remember to make the journal entry on the day of (say, Jan 1) but might make it on January 5, or even February 5 - after he has made the February 1 Journal entry.
The first step, of course, is to change the 'Title of New Journal Tiddlers' in the Control Panel to be something like 'YYYY-0MM-0DD'. If you make the journal entry on the day of, creating the new journal entry will populate the title with the string something like '2021-03-06'. If I forgot to make February's entry, I could create a journal entry and simply edit the journal tiddler title to be '2021-02-01'. Create a few entries and do a simple search from the right hand pane and they will be sorted. Torax's code won't work as written with this simplistic scheme, but could be easily modified. I am off to get my vaccine, so I'll get back to this later, if this has helped at all.
