Re: Sort by Part of ISO Date

Yes you can do that, but you can not select the mapped field as a key field.  
What we have done is map the substring to a field not
being used by the program and then using that field as a key field.  Not the 
best method for long term readability but it will work
for now.  Thanks for your help.
