[feature request] Archive tasks in their correct completed dates instead of use the date that a task was archived

These are my current settings:

Now imagine that I have these tasks:

I am using https://github.com/obsidian-tasks-group/obsidian-tasks plugin.

It would be great if the Obsisian Task Archiver could identify the done date and archive the tasks to their correct dates.

If I archive the mentioned tasks, I'll get the following behavior:

I understand that it's an odd request, since it's using a feature of a third party plugin.

I would suggest to create an option to enable/disable the feature.

And instead of rely on the third party plugin, the rule would be:

• "try to find the last date present in the task-line and use it when archiving, if there isn't a date, use the current date when archiving"

First of all, thank you for the wonderful add-on 👍

I use a combination of Task Archiver and Tasks as well and have the same request.

Some of my projects are longer running and currently have a long list of archived tasks that are not sorted by any means.

Hopefully this can become possible.

So to get the behavior you want, you can use these settings:
