Now that you've found a way to do it, it doesn't work the way I thought/hoped it would.  I hoped we code code it as [[YYYY-MM-DD]] and that it would allow sorting on the column but would appear the way a user's preferences were set up (in my case, MMMM DD, YYYY.  However, since Dr who1975 didn't but the brackets "[[" in, it won't translate to those preferences.  Furthermore, if the brackets were put in, then it would still sort alphabetically by what the preferences dictate — which again looks lousy.  Therefore, I suggest that we (i.e. you, Dr who1975, who knows how to do it (relatively) quickly) restore the old style of date formats.—Markles
