Does the column sort correctly? My guess is no, although it might if you chose "Date sort" when you created the custom column. If you chose text, or if the 'meaning' of the number cannot be determined, then the sort will be wrong. For example, when sorting ascending, 10 Oct 2011 (10/10/11) will come before 12 June 2011 (12/06/11) because 10 is less than 12. The fact that October is larger than June will be ignored.
