Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: converting txt to dates

Hi :)
I use it quite a lot.

It makes sorting files a lot easier.  If all files were created or modified
on the date that is most relevant to the contents of the file then it would
be quite simple but life is seldom that simple ime.

Of course no-one in my office understands.  They prefer to have everything
from August waaay before anything from March.
Regards from
Tom :)
