I have a date column that uses the month name and then the day range, for example, January 5-9, January 10-12, and February 3-6. Is there a way to sort this by month, then day? So, January 5-9 would be first, then January 10-12, then February 3-6?

Hi!

Thanks for your post and sorry for the trouble!

Unfortunately, this date format is not directly supported, as the JS code does not have an understanding of the month name, and also wouldn’t know which number of the range to use.

The best solution for this would therefore be to add a second (hidden) column, with a date format that can be sorted. For that, I recommend this approach: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/date-order-6/

Regards,
Tobias
