No, it doesn't change anything. As long as you store the dates using an
appropriate datatype for a date, you can sort by date.

Whether you call it date and store a datetime, or call it date and store
a julian date as a number from some arbitrary epoch is irrelevant.

Your mistake is in storing dates as strings and then expecting string
sort to sort them in date order.

You've been given a workround for this at least twice which would only
need you to wrap the column name date in your order by clause with a
suitable conversion function.

If instead you want to make more mistakes with julian dates, well who are
we to stand in your way. But when you start asking for help in sorting
out your julian dates, I reserve the non exclusive right to tell tell you
to see previous discussions and stop being an arse.
