Hi, thanks for solving Page Properties Dates can’t be deleted! Apparently now, after deleting a date from the property field, it is assigned an invisible date which is older than all other dates. In Bases those fields are placed on top when sorting from old to new in contrast to fields that never had a value, which are placed in the bottom.
Steps to reproduce
- create a base with multiple entries with date properties
- enter dates for some of the notes, leave some empty
- sort from old to new
- delete one of the existing dates
- bonus: delete one of the non-existing dates
Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]
Y
Expected result
Notes with deleted dates go back to bottom, with other notes with empty dates.
Actual result
Notes with deleted dates go to the top.
