Order by Custom Field in Category was created by iamrobert

Hi,

I am testing the new FLEXIcontent v 2.0 RC8 (r1465).

I am trying to create an event list, that sorts according to a custom date field called "datez".

It seems to order correctly - if I use "text" and date as:

"2012.12.25", but not with the display date. Hopefully the attachment will make more sense.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,

Robert

mmm, maybe it is too late and i am sleepy,
but ...
the second result in your pictures ... it is in correct order, is it not? so the ordering is working?

actually the display format that you select for displaying the date field, has not effect when using the date field to order,

this is because the dates are stored in the DB in a specific format
