For anyone interested in living dangerously, here is my first attempt at writing a filter. In the filter syntax, it takes the form
sortddmmyyyy[mydatefield]
I have barely tested it, and have no idea what happens if you throw
incorrectly formatted stuff at it. It wants dates like "dd/mm/yyyy". No
other separator than /, all 3 fields.
Be *absolutely certain to back up* your TW if you try this.
