Sorting by date is flawed

When sorting by date, Sortable uses the string instead of the iso-date. For example:

I have my release dates logged as iso-date: ReleaseDate:: YYYY-MM-DD, but my standard date-view is DD-MM-YYYY.

When I use Sortable it sorts by DD-MM-YYYY, which means 31-05-2022 is later than 15-10-2022.

Is is possible to recognize dates and use iso-dates?

Apologies for the extremely late reply! Implemented an ad-hoc solution for sorting ISO dates until I think of something smarter.
