Hola @david,

I think we need to put a kind of note or advice on Sort Array plugin:

The plugin works fine when the array contains number or text values but if you create a **array of dates and use this plugin, the result is wrong** due to the code handles the dates as text/string and everything is a little mess.

My PIC can give you an idea of this situation and the wrong order: January ( 1), October (10), June ( 6) and July ( 7).

So far, my workaround to do it correctly is using this Jeff’s trick showed here (convert dates to number values): [Agent for information - #85 by Jeff\_Hager](https://community.glideapps.com/t/agent-for-information/29981/85)

I hope it helps and avoid future problems.

Feliz día!
