> I don’t know if this can help, but as @Jeff_Hager did by converting a date to an integer, I did the same recently by using a plugin column: Date & Time / Date format.

Yes, I’m aware of this plugin. And I was using it for a while. But then I discovered that it is broken, and so I stopped using it. Every now and then I give it a try, observe that it’s still broken, and continue to not use it. If/when it becomes unbroken, I’ll definitely start using it (and the other date plugins) again 🙂

(the way I understand it, it’s not the plugin itself that’s broken, but the underlying Luxon library - as Thinh pointed out. Either way, it can’t be relied upon)
