I'm used to the output from the action function being returned in date order. Currently I am seeing things returned in reverse order by date edited, I think. I'm using the MM/DD/YYYY date format.

A typical line looks like:
@tag (priority) 03/09/2016 Whatever goes here

I'm on iPhone 6+, ios 9.2.1, TN 4.3.0

If I understand correctly, try this:

{{action:created< @tag}}

Change < to > the change sort order.

@srhyse Thanks, that helps me with the syntax for my other question, but here I want to sort by the date I've spelled out in the entry, which I thought was the default behavior for action, but it doesn't seem to be happening properly. Oddly, if I put a time in the entry, even though I'm using a date-only date format, it seems to throw the date sort off, depending on the time of day when the function is executed.
