Sorting by String uses up lots more RAM than a numeric sort. If you
use a numeric (yet lexicographically orderable) date format (e.g.
MMDD) you'll see better performance most likely.

You should store the date as a number, e.g. "days since 1970" (or weeks if
that is precise enough) and then tell the sort that it's an integer
