Enhancement Request: downloads sorted by file date

Please consider this a feature/enhancement request. I use Download Monitor and purchased the CSV Importer extension.

We would like a shortcode option for “orderby=filedate”. For us this is a very important use case as we often want to order lists of documents by the publication date (filedate). We are using a clumsy workaround by importing our files in filedate order then using “orderby=id.” I also imagine ordering by filedate is a common and useful method for other customers. Since you already support code for ordering by by other data fields, I’m guessing this would be a relatively small code change/addition.

This has been a problem for us since migrating from WP-Filebase which *does* include the filedate orderby option. We are using the CSV Importer extension to import data extracted from from WP-Filebase.

This is currently not supported or planned per https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/downloads-sorted-by-file-date/.

Thank you for considering this request.
