That said, I am glad it works for you.

I've never wanted to sort on it, much less do arithmetic. If I wanted to do something like that I'd create a csv and use Excel. I also use the column as a hook on which to hang an icon.
But wait, I just did a sort on my duration column - perfect.
And then I remembered the
sort_dates_using_visible_fields tweak takes care of it. Perhaps there should be a companion tweak
zero_non_visible_fields_in_dates.
