can you make a composite key:   author + ':' + day + month + year

where you use a reverse index for the day, month...
so for jan 1 you use 3112
for jan 10 you use 2112
day index = days in month - day
month index = 13 - month
for year index you have to pick a future year: 3000 say
then year index = 3000 - year
then jan 1, 2010 becomes 31121990
jan 1, 2009 becomes 31121991

if i posted both posting then the composite key would be
tylerken:31121990
tylerken:31121991

and that should sort in author date descending order
