Change date format in fetched news/magazine titles?
I'm syncing part of my library including news through Send To Device and one issue that comes up on my device is the news items are not in chronological order because of the automatic date format put into magazine/news titles, "[Thu, 21 May 2015]". I'd really like to change this to a chronological friendly format "[2015-05-21]". Is that possible?

Using subdirectories with the date as the folder title would work for magazines but that would mess up my book subfolder scheme which uses another subfolder format.

One proposal is that since the "News" tag already gets special treatment on device transfer (its own New folder, automatic sync, etc), one additional custom behavior could be to auto convert the "pretty" date in the Calibre title to a "chronological" date on the device.
