Request for improvement...

It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 44514
interpreted = N
texte = It would be nice if we could define a field as a DATE field for sorting purposes only -- while also searching the same field with a bw comparison operator -- yet this is impossible in all current and previous versions of webdna.All I want is to store my dates in MM/DD/YYYY format, then I want to search with the bw operator so I can retrieve only certain months of records, and I want my results sorted as dates -- not as text.Why can't webdna handle this simple task?As soon as I use the fieldType=DATE parameter, I can no longer do a bw comparison on the same field. I guess I do not understand why a SORT parameter has to limit the types of comparisons we can do in the SEARCH ...Is there anything that can be done to eliminate this problem?
