I have a form field PublishingDate where users can enter a human readable date using a date picker.

If I want to sort topics on that field, I cannot use sort="formfield(PublishingDate)" because that will sort the topics on the strings of those form fields.

I figured I could use

sort="%QUERY{"d2n('$formfield(PublishingDate)')"}%"

but that does not work, neither does the escaped

$percntQUERY{$quotd2n('$formfield(PublishingDate)')$quot}$percnt
