Hello.

 

I have a date column I want to sort. Using the sort option I mark it as sorting descending and it does sort the years, but not the month or day. any ideas why?

Hey @SorinDiaconescu

 

It sorted fine for me when I did a quick test!

 

Can you share some data?

Hey @SorinDiaconescu

 

It worked fine for me, i did notice that the sort is messed up if you have the "use dictionary order" button ticked
