Filter Date & Time field in a collection

[daniel-laera]

Hi! I have a repeater for displaying the event’s date for a band which I have already filtered by year since in my UpcomingEvents collection I created a ‘year’ field and that works well. But when I display the date I’d like to have a more precise order for displaying the dates, I mean, ordering by month and day as well. But the filter method doesn’t read the text field as date (Ex: 1 september 2014, 14 january 2018, 29 september 2018) but I created a field with a date & time format for every event date from 2014 to 2018. So how can I code this for my repeater? I’d like to thank you in advance for your help and time!

Hi! Could you possibly make use of the Sorting/Filtering on the Dataset itself (i.e. in the “Manage Dataset” popup)? That way the Dataset itself will always sort by year, month, & day respectively. Hope this helps.
