 * Hi
    Great plug in – my only problem is formatting of dates . Even when I use 
   the date_format function in the SQL query to format my dates the english way 
   e.g. 01/05/2013 they are still showing in the format 2013/05/01. Is there any
   way to change this? Thanks. Gillian

 * Try setting the field type to text instead of date, we currently display dates
   in the standard WordPress format as shown in other WP list tables (like posts
   and pages).
