OK. This is my end result. It works. The problem with sorting is that the
sort doesn't seem to like a date with the dashes in it; i.e. 2011-09-23;
but 20110923 DOES work for sorting. So I let user enter date any way he
wants and then I convert it to YYYYMMDD format and save it. I couldn't get
time stamp to work, but don't need it since this sorts fine (obvioulsy if I
want a date and time sort, I will have to get a time stamp working somehow!)
The Form:
[form]
/* use existing data field and allow user to modify the date */
/* date is entered as text 28 May 1987, etc or 7/21/2013 etc... */
Publish On:[text pubdate "{:pubdate}" size=14]
/* submit */
[submit name=submit value='SAVE']
/* set target page */
[session target {p}]
/* use time COMMAND (not function!) to convert to a standard SORTABLE date
format */
[session time "{=pubdate}|%Y%m%d"]
[session pubdatetxt '{=time}']
/*save the data */
[session boltsavedata pubdate,pubdatetxt]
[form]
The Search Command:
{(search group=posts.* type=-header,footer,comments
template="posts.featured" sort=pubdatets order=reverse count=30)}
NOTE: I could not get this FORM to work in version 4.01. So I am still
sticking with 3.5 for now.
