I found that if you delete the dashes and just run the numbers all together (like 20220417), they will sort. Obviously that’s hard to read, but it’s a clue.

I tried replacing the dashes with spaces (2022 04 17), and the column wouldn’t sort.

I found a workaround: put a letter at the start, like d 2022-04-17. Actually, even punctuation works (I only tested a period): . 2022-04-17.

I'll use the workaround, thank you. I'll try to experiment with it.
