And again, this isn't sort by anything, it's browse by.  Which it
does.  It arranges the metadata by date in the format you have
specified.  If you specify a date format where the date comes first,
then you will get a metadata tree listed in the order of date.

But more importantly, you've ignored my explanation of how to do
exactly what you want, which is to use the *actual* sort by functions
in the filter dialog.
