Just a note that you can use the extract (year from theDate) and extract (month from theDate) in a derived column in EntityModeler which avoids the need for a view.

I created a view with the appropriate columns and in the select statement I put in the order by CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW myNewView AS SELECT info1, info2, theDate FROM theTable ORDER BY extract (year from theDate) desc, extract (month from theDate) asc; A one point I actually set up some rules to make the 'VIEW' updatable. YMMV obviously depending on you access to the backend, and if Views are supported.
