How to name test cases so they display in date order

[Martin Goreing]

Hi there

Can anyone advise me on how to names test cycles so that they display in date order please?

I have tried DD.MM.YYYY (05.01.2022) and DD/MM/YYYY (05/01/2022) for example, and sorting by name only seems to recognise the first digits DD and ignores the MM so I wind up with:

05.01.2022 - PVT Testing
15.02.2022 - TEST Side 1
18.01.2022 - PVT Testing

Any help would be appreciated

It's sorting alphabetically, not numerically or by date.  

Alphabetic sort does not understand dd-mm-yyyy.  Nor does it understand US dates (no sort gets that right without having to be coded for the wrongness), but it will work for yyyy-mm-dd, so try using that as the prefix format.

Thanks Nic

I'll give that a go.
