Yes, It does sort correctly as far as I see. I did choose "Date sort". The column appears perfectly sorted in descending ordered all the way from today 28/10/2011 to 1/10/2011 (October 1 2011), where it jumps correctly to 30/09/11 (September 30 2011)... etc.
Now the problem I have, and am trying to solve, is that if I add a new file
now it does appear somewhere
within today's files, mixed with the files that I added, say, a few hours ago - in an apparently random way but not necessarily at the top of the list... My fault: because I didn't include any timestamp (to be honest: I removed it) and because my files come in "working peaks", sometimes quite a few in the same day. So I've thought of to appending "hour:minutes" to the date tag; that will surely be enough, as I'm certain that I will not add more than one file within the same minute!!.
